 About the picture to the left:

This is one of a pair of props for the Sara Reed. The Sara Reed is a tug used by The Dutra group for various marine construction projects.

We had to gear up for this pair of 74" diameter stainless steel props. A fork lift was needed because these props weigh 1800 pounds each.

We are now able to repair and tune up to 84" diameter props with precision that gives better performance.
Before and After: The Dutra Group is a Marine Construction Company that runs a fleet of workboats and tugs in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sacramento River Delta. They needed quick turn around on propeller repair for one of their workboats. We picked up the propeller on a Wednesday and delivered the finished job on Friday at noon so Dutra could get their workboat back in the water. We were thanked for the quick turn around, and told that the propeller "looked like it was new". What the human eye cannot see is the precision that "Prop Scan" brings to the Marine propeller repair business.
 
 
 

These before and after pictures show the dramatic difference in appearance after repairs, tuning, and finishing. What you cannot see is the absolute precision that Prop Scan allows Thomas Marine Propeller to Tune to. Precision means performance, no vibration, better fuel usage, quieter running, and HAPPY BOAT OWNERS
