LMAO. They are both good, just got them and was wondering if Brett could translate the markings for me.

Hey Old School, I hope all is well for you!
Both props were built by a technician that worked for me at Mercury Racing in the 1990's.
The LH was built in May of 1997 to a standard Lab (at that time spec.)
The RH was built inJan. of 1999 to a standard Lab (at that time spec.)
Of course nobody knows what's been done to them since then??? They are 4 blades so you can check the diameter.
Take care and let me know if you want us to go through them.

Thanks for the info Brett.
I ran the props last weekend....and picked up 7 mph @ 4000rpm's!!!!! (64mph)
....but could only turn them to 5100 at WOT. They have been cut down to a diameter of 16.5 and I think are probably more than 31 pitch.
My other set of props are a 16.5 diameter and a true 29 pitch. I run 57 mph @ 4000 rpm's and can get 6100 rpm's out of them at WOT.

Indeed true pitch of those propellers from that vintage would be 32.
Use that for calcs.....
