Has anyone ever used Propeller Dynamics in Chester, VA. I was talking to my neighbor and he said all the Bass holes use this guy and he knows his stuff, on any boat, set-up. I have been dealing with BBlades, just wondering if there is someone just as good, a lot closer.

I've had him work on my small outboards and he knows his stuff. He does all the Hi-Po Outboard stuff in the area and is very well respected. I know a few people that only allow him to touch their boat.

I don't need any repair work. I was kind of hoping to get some hands on advice about how to get rid of the porpoise in my boat. on relatively calm water at 60mph and up, I can't do anything to get it to stop other than bury the drive and tabs, and thats just not acceptable anymore. BBlades cupped and labbed a 26 B1 twice and it didnt change much. Next option is a five blade, in the spring of course.
But I was reading another post where a guy put and extension box on and it changed his COG to the point where he extended his lifting strakes to correct his porpoise problem. Maybe thats my problem. It seems easy enough to try, I just don't like the sound of patching screw holes if it doesn't work. Maybe I need a hull guy instead of a prop guy

I too have dealt with Lee Sanderson and Murphy's for different applications and was satisified with both. I dealt with Lee in person he was a wealth of knowledge and Murphys was ship and shipped back. both were very timely and delivered what they said they would.
