Default Prop labbing

What's the typical cost of labbing props? I'm sure there are a ton of factors but I have no idea. Hundreds? Thousands? I'm running mirage plus 23's on 40' fountain with 575s through trs's. @5200 I'm running 73. Just curious if its even worth the money vs gains at this point. Maybe it's not worth it unless you're really running big power and much higher speeds?

Thanks. That's not too bad. I don't know what equipment you're running but did you notice a difference?

Yes.but I also had some pitch taken out and cup added.picked up about 200 rpm and got rid of my porpoise. They can do anything you need.actual just the lab finish itself will kill a little rpm because the prop bites much better.

We charge $392 for 3 and 4 blade props.
There are many options to the recipe.
Our standard recipe adds rpm. Standard blueprinting "can" lose rpm.

What exactly is done to the prop, say your standard recipe?

Exactly depends on current performance numbers and goals.

I like to describe the process as blueprinting on steroids. We blueprint the propeller (like a crankshaft in a engine) with specifics to enhance your boats personality.
Call us and I can explain things more in depth.
