Just kinda wondering why you are so set on Merc labbed props.

Mark

I have a set of York labbed 28P that I am happy with, but would like to try something different. With those 28's, I am all over the rev limiter (5200rpm). So I am pretty sure I can turn a set of labbed 30's around 4900 ish!????
(bone stock 28's turn 4900)

BTW: The York Labbed 28's that I have are for sale! Used only about 2 hours since I got them back from York. They are about perfect, and I NEED to sell them. Wife is on me about space in the garage!!

I know it's a long way....but there is always UPS......

Marine Propellor Warehouse, Longview Texas....903-753-7867.
Lab finish....$185.00
used by a former blown drag boat racer (Close Encounters) here and just did the props on a 33 Eliminator/ twin Paul Pfaff 1150's on it.

$185.00 sounds pretty cheap compared to Merc.

Bill, if two props are causing you space problems in the garage I'd forget the idea of getting bigger props and get a bigger garage!!

Maybe we'll see you over the Holidays! Hope things are going well for you...
