Small nicks can lead to blade failure, Houston Prop is running a short special for all of you, To have your prop repaired back to new condition.

3 OR 4 BLADE props same price, satin finished is 99.00 and polished finished is 149.00 plus shipping. This includes PRE LABBED PROPELLERS.

I responded to this post yesterday, and received notice that you responded back. I tried to follow the link and was told it was invalid. I checked the board to find this post as though you just typed it today. I have the Hammer with a 468 putting out about 450 to 500 hp and pulling 5300 Rpm's in this cool weather. It pulls real hard all the way to 5300. I have a 25 Mirage Plus. I am wondering what you would think relative to repitching to a 26. If you think it is worth while, what is the charge on top of fixing a small ding?

Wink 23 mirage plus

Hi Darrin!
You reworked my 23P to a 24, added cupping and thinned the blades. The good news is the porpoising is gone, the mid range pins me in the seat and the top speed is identical. I used to run 72mph at 5250 rpm. I now run 72 at 5100 rpms. I still am gonna try one of the REV 4 for my outlaw...Thanks!!!!!!

sound's good ,never hurts to try the rev four ,it's a great prop but very heavy and large blades,we usually lab and clip the dia" some to really make them go.

or go to a highly modified 25 mirage plus for a all out top end radical riding prop.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!!! ON HOW YOU CHOOSE TO DRIVE IT .SOME, ARE LOOKING FOR A BETTER RIDE, SOME LOOKING TO KICK AXX. I,like the radical ride on the prop.Where it scare's your friends and they think you are
