West Palm Boater Doubles Down on Pro Test Program

Early in 2014, James Matthysse got a smoking deal on a 2012 Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX bow Rider; the boat was two years old, but a demo, and only had six hours on it. Matthysse, of West Palm Beach, Florida, then spent the next four months trying to find the right prop for the 300 horsepower Verado powering the rig.

“I tried four or five different props that I borrowed or bought with information from internet forums,” he said.

He had to have one, and had to rig it himself. But when it came to prop selection, this time, Matthysse placed a call to BBLADES first.

“I actually talked to Brett a year ago – and some other prop shops – to get some basic information, but this time I wanted to take advantage of BBLADES’ test program… Brad asked me very detailed questions about my rigging and set-up, the type of boating I like to do, very technical and involved.” Read More…

The younger Saris said the formula for victory is an easy one: “It’s the hull,” Johnny Saris said, “Combined with my father’s right arm [throttle arm] and our set-up, which includes the props.” Read More…
