Bblades Lab Work Second to None
I just competed in the Shootout at LOTO with a pair of P5Xs that Brett had worked his magic on. Let me tell you that the props out of the box were a quite a bit off balance. I had some major chime walking issues at speed. There was none of that when I ran on Sunday. The boat was on rails. Brett and crew know their stuff as I was able to get the highest speed to date. Brett did the calculations and my slip number was very good. Thanks again, Brett!

I picked up about 3 mph on top end - which is great in itself. However, the handling characteristics of the boat changed a great degree. Easier to get on plane with the boat full of people, no chime walking and very even rpms with both engines. The prop prior to labbing had potential, but the blades were not even and was a very tempormental prop. This is now a great all around prop.
