No, I had to pay to have it done, I don't have that talent.

There is too much cup on the prop which makes it get squirly on top, a little too much chine walk for my liking, need to use the tabs to straighten it out but not out of control...and the cup eats alot of rpm.....

I'm thinking of going with a 28 labbed Bravo 1 with minimal cup to keep the rpm, and probably gain a mph or 2.

I run stock bravo 1 28 pitch. I turn 4900-4950 rpm. 74 on good days, 72 anyday. I always have a full tank of fuel. I would really like to try a 5 blade to increase cruise speed. You can feel the prop slipping at 3500 rpm.

Some cup and labbing might solve some of the problem, pick up cruising efficiency for sure.
BBlades did mine and it works well.
