Post Reviews for Backwater Props? I found them on Ebay
Trying to find out good, bad or the ugly on them they are competitively priced, which concerns me because they are 30% less than the competition ( Go Devil ). Does anyone have any info, I did a search and found nothing. Thank you for the time.

yea i bought a prop from arlon gilk last year. he talked me into buying a 9x6 prop for a 16 hp gdlt. i works but i had a lot of problems getting it shipped. had to get the albany sheriffs dept to get him to ship. but it looks and runs pretty good. it seems on ebay he hasnt sold one yet. so good luck you might get it in a week or maybe a month like me.

Well we needed a prop so after doing some searching and in a little rush before duck season began, we made our purchase or what we thought was a purchase. So we mail a check on the 2nd the guy Arlon says he mailed the prop out on the 6th. So we wait around until the 11th still no prop in the mail, nor has the check been cashed.

Here is the FUN Part: So a call is made to Arlon to find out what the hell is going on, he says that it should be there at this point at first, and that he'll put another in the mail but please send the first one back if we do in fact get it. Then the check being cashed is brought up, most of the time people make sure the funds are good before sending the product but hey to each their own, so he replys well I don't have my finances around but if it hasn't cleared just put a stop payment on that check because it was probably lost? And send me a check when the prop gets to you?

Ok, any normal person knows with two statements like that this douche bag has no idea of what the hell is going on nor how to operate a business. I have a lot of bad words for him at this time.

So to resolve our issue we put a stop payment on the check, sent him an email outlining why and ordered it from another company the same day. Please do not use this guy, he will blow smoke up you A$$.

Yep, thats why i had to get the sheriff department to get mine shipped. 20 days after check cleared. phone after phone call, lie after lie. when i posted this before i caught alot of flack from every swinging d!ck in minn. I had my post removed because of it. And think these guys are selling mud motors now. think of the service nightmares there!
