If you want, I can also trim this to a short Spotify blurb, add timestamps, or write a show-level description for the podcast page itself.

In Jacksonville, FL there is a company that has found success in improving propeller performance the old school way. Modifying and testing...and testing...and testing. Impressive knowledge from our new friend Phil who is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met regarding boat propulsion and handling. A great story teller as well.
