Told him I had good holeshot, just wanted more top speed and more rpm's, he told me all the stuff he did to it and I understood most of it, made it thin, equal, balanced, and fast! I think he said he moved the cup and made the blades bout 10 thousandths thinner than normal lab job. Should get it next week and will be trying it out Labor day week.

I just sent mine to him today aswell. Very eager to see the results aswell. Not sure what he will be doing to it, just been giving him my results with different props I have been trying. Once I found one with the best results he said to send it over and he'd go from there. I trust him. Should work out nice

When you say you have good holeshot, what do you mean exactly? What kind of throttle (controlling what kind of power) can you give your boat off the line and get up-n-going? I'm just curious what I might be able to do to increase my "off the line" performance without killing my top end... I was just looking at BBlades site before I saw your thread... :)

Good hole shot as in my boat, heavy Advantage, 496HO, planes out well with low input. I dont have trim tabs and it gets on plane really easy. I was looking for more top end, and glad to post, I picked up 4 mph with the 24p from the 22p at 6000'. I was 50 mph at 3700' with the 24p, had Bblades lab it, ran it at 6000' this weekend and was 4 mph faster than the last time I ran here with the 22p! 54 on command, touched 56 under perfect water/wind. Cant wait to try it out at Havasu in Nov, Thinking I will be around 59-60! Thanks Bblades!! You did a great job! When I repower this winter(557CI, 650 Hp) I will definetly send you a new prop to work it over!
