yes,as long as they are original 27 pitch props we can add up to 2"of pitch ,on a stainless.
also as you mentioned, we can thin the blades ,balance to perfection and polish to a high mirror finish.
Thanks >Darin

MARK,Did you decide you want to lab your props and bump them up to 29's and are you sure your motors can swing this high of pitch?
I, know it's almost Christmas,but following up on your question.

What can you pick up by labbing Hydromotive props?
I always thought they were already labbed from the factory, and doing anything else to them would result in blade breakage...is this not correct?

very question's, Hydromotives warranty policy is a labbed prop by them or not they will not warranty,as well I am pretty sure the other Majaor Manufactures are pretty much the same way as far as warranty'son a Labbed prop.
To your question, my shop does not thin the props out as much as we would a Bravo-one or a Mirage. We have been told they will break and over the 27 years of working props I have found that the hydros are more brittle than any other Major Prop Manufacture.
so alot of it depends on who does the work and how or what methods are used during this process.
hope I helped answer your question and would suggest if your to have a hydromotive labbed ,it be thinned moderatly.
there are other tricks of the trade to accomplishrpm gain as well as speed gains on these types of props.
