Didn't you have BBlades work there magic on your props?

Brett had told me some time back that when figuring prop slip on say a stock 32" that you subtract 1" when calculating. So a 32" is figured as a 31", 30" as a 29" & a 28" as a 27", not sure why...

BAM web site shows optimum % slip for a heavy V bottom is 10-13% & for a fast V bottom 8-9% slip.

Yes they did go to Bblades. I didn't have them labbed. Just touched up and checked out. One was replaced due to a crack.
