What does everyone feel the value is for the following - assuming stock Mercury Marine information and what would be a fair price to charge?
1. True advertised pitch
2. True advertised dia.
3. Actually balanced
4. Satin Finish
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Won't most reputable PropScan shops check your props for free and give you a report? (Of course, they ALWAYS find something wrong with them that requires work...)

Let me clarify - if you were to pay to have these services provided on stock Merc products - assuming you dinged one or had minor damage, what do you think is a fair and reasonable price, assuming the work was as described without issue. Bravo type props not SSM's
Thanks Again.

Your kind of in a grey area, thats like asking how much to repair a dent or paint damage. It really depends on how bad the damage is?? For just ball park "minor Damage" I would guess $200 a prop, meaning no missing metal, no metal bent more than a few degrees.

They charged me $135 to repair a prop after hitting a tree under water. Weld, repitch, balance and satin finish.

I would just use BBlades.
