Smile BBLADES Heads to Key West

BBLADES Off To See The Worlds And Key West Poker Run

October 28, 2013

BBLADES is heading South in November to the home of Hemingway and the six-toed kitty cats, but our motive isn’t literary or animal husbandry. We’ll be on-hand assisting and cheering on the various race teams running BBLADES props during the 35th Annual Key West Offshore World Championships and attending the 21st running of the Florida Powerboat Club’s Key West Poker Run November 5th-11th.

Once again this year we’ll be displaying at the Poker Run Village adjacent to the Key West Marina, showing our complete line of signature BBLADES propellers, accessories and apparel and answering questions about improving the performance and handling of your boat. As many boating enthusiasts as racers or poker runners attend what has become the go-fast boating Mecca to get out of the cold, see old friends, and gawk at keywestheader2013one of the most impressive fleets of hardware you’ll see in one place. If you make it down, be sure to stop by and say “hello;” you’ll find us near the brand new 52-foot Hardin Marine trailer, which is difficult to miss. Hope to see you there!

We are only bringing display propellers.
However, we can ship test props down for anyone who wishes to do some testing during that week.

Can I bring props with me for you to take back to shop for labbing. Saves some shipping costs.

If I give you a ride in the boat, does it make the process of labbing easier for you to figure with RPM, etc...???

It is much easier to read the gauges if you are actually in the boat.

sonicss42,
I wish I could but then I'd have to put them in my suitcase. We aren't bring the trailer down so I don't have anyplace to put them.
Sorry about that.

Brett

302Sport,

Getting the exact performance data correct to determine the best recipe is critical. Unfortunately, past experiences down here for this weekend tells me my ability to get on the water wouldn't be till Monday. Unfortunately I'll be gone by then.
Thank you for the offer though as it would not only be informative, it would be fun!
Below I have attached a link to BBLADES printable test performance sheet. Take this in the boat with you and we can discuss the numbers after you attain them.

Thanks again for the offer.

Brett

That's OK. I'll stop by and discuss my needs and your solutions.
