Default Prop Shop

Is there a good prop shop in the Edmonton area? I have one that needs repair and another I'd like some custom speed tweaking done

Default Ponoka

I believe there is a guy in Ponoka who does them. I gave my bent prop to a friend who in turn took it to the guy. Did a great job. If you can't find one I will look this guy's number up for you. Don't have the info at hand. BEL

If you ever get down to Airdrie, give these guys a call. I have never used them myself, but I know a couple guys who have and said he has done a great job.

The prop builder who lives east of Ponoka is Barry Christenson 1-403-783-2451. Did a great job for myself and 2 friends. Hope this helps. BEL

Interesting comments about budget prop and atv... I went in there looking for a prop for a surface drive project I'm working on and whomever I talked to was useless beyond belief.
Basically told me they can't order parts (I assumed they wouldn't have a CCW prop in stock).
Tried to spin the ignorance blame on me by asking me what my shaft was for the prop. I told him I can make a shaft to whatever the prop happens to be... threaded, splined, roll-pin, I just need a prop to fit my horsepower and what I'm using it for. And he looked at me like a confused puppy, which he shouldn't have if they have the capability to machine.
