satin finish is always faster. i have tested tested and tested on both of my cats. its worth 2 mph. if you are splitting hairs. we have done this on hydo 4 and 5 blades and bravo 1's also a set of spinelli's. see ya charlie white oak auto and marine cint oh.

Just wonderfull Darin Wish you would have waited till after I had my prop back before starting his thread as now I have to start thinking again.. (and that hurts my brain ya know!)

You have probably already polished my Rev 4 to perfection costing me speed, so I'll just break out some sandpaper and scuff it up when it gets back!

Hope your new year is going well!

WELL ITS YOUR PROP AND IT IS STILL HERE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT SATIN FINISHED? AND EVERYONE WILL GET A FAIR CHANCE .ALSO if you win and live up North we will have to wait for the results.GOOD LUCK TO ALL.Darin

Oh no Darin! I was just rattling your chain!

Polished is fine for me on the Rev4.. Once I decide on a 3 blade, then we'll consider satin.

polished it is !
