VEEM Marine and Sharrow Marine announced today a collaboration that that weds the most innovative new prop design in 190 years, with the undisputed leader in inboard propeller manufacturing and sales. Last year, VEEM sold 6,000 props, over 50% of which were in the recreational boating market. The company has a large portion of the motoryacht, convertible, large cruiser, and the superyacht propeller business, and now it can only grow exponentially.
Recently, Brad Miocevich, Chairman of VEEM, Ltd., told BoatTEST that he considers the Sharrow design superior to the props of his own company in numerous applications. This is important news for any owner of an inboard-powered boat.
