he ordered the prop and paid big coin to over night it, put it on the boat and the boat vibrated big time, didnt pick up any mph. he called some one there, they said they would fix it, but it would be a couple weeks and he wouldnt pay shipping. well a couple weeks is out of the question in a couple weeks our boat season is over.
so he took it to a local place, they said it was way out of balance, they fixed it, made some adjustments to the cup (they said the cup was way off) refinished it etc he put it back on the boat and picked up 2 mph and no more vibration however he know has a $1400 prop that one scuff on sand will kill it. lol
no thanks on a bblades for me

My buddy got a prop for his Baja from bblades. it was way way off.

yea, its because i made it all up
I can only tell you what i know for fact.
we put the prop on, put it in the water it vibrated like mad.
we took the prop off checked everything, reinstalled is vibrated like mad.
he called the guy, guy said its normal, we didnt buy it. he brought it to a local prop shop here in mass to have it checked, they said balance was way off and the cupping was off from blade to blade.
from there i was not involved. my buddy (who i have been friends with for 10 years) told me the guy wouldnt pay shipping on it and it would take 2 weeks to fix. the local guy said he didnt want to fix it send it back. my buddy didnt want to wait and paid the local guy extra to fix it.
he then put it back on the boat (i have not been back on t yet personally) but he said its no more vibration and picked up.
the top part is fact, i have no reason to lie, make somthing up etc, i thought it to be strange after seeing all the good things about them, but with this i personally wouldnt buy one, i was iffy befor spending the cash, but after this its even more iffy.
like i said, i have no reason to lie or anything, and i also know you cant please everyone, so one out of 100 props where bad, it happens, but i know i would have jumped that prop right to the front of the line to get fixed and i would have eatn shipping. thats just me tho
