Who makes the best labbed prop???
 
I'm looking into getting a new labbed prop for my boat but don't know which brand to go with. I need a 26 RH that will fit on my Bravo X drive. Is it best to buy one done already? If so who makes the best one? Is it better to send one out and have it labbed by a company? If so who is the best company to send it to for labbed prop work? Thanks for the help:)

Throttle up and BBlades both get very positive reviews!

I thought Throttle-Up was a casualty of the economy, hopefully I was wrong again?

Thanks,
Rick

Throttle up is done. B Blades has a trial program to get your boat dialed in.

Brett, at BBlades has done my props, and is always right on with the work.
If you are looking to have some work done now, it may take a while, gets very busy this time of year.

I sent them a message but no reply back. I guess I will try getting in touch with them again. Thanks guys for all your input BBlades must be the sh-t. Any ideas what is the best prop to send to them to get labbed or do they have them already? I'm in no big hurry so I can work with them as they have time for me. Thanks again:)

BBlades will definitely take care of you!
I am running a 23p M+ that they labbed for me on my 89 226 islander and running 68mph @5K now on a 400Hp 454
You can send them yours and they will lab it for you or you can sign up for their trial program where they send you a prop, let you try it, and then you can buy it or send it back to try something else. I think they charge like 45 or 50 bucks for each prop you try (assuming you don't damage it). The best thing about Brett and BBlades is the experience and knowledge they provide. You won't be guessing at which prop to use, they have a pretty good core knowledge of what works best with different hull types and horsepower.

Good Luck

What kind of speed increase did you see. How much do their props run?
