New props from bblades with out labbing is 1200 for both. I just looked it up. Pull the trigger and lab them over the winter. Don't waste a weekend. You have plenty of winter in Pittsburgh to fix broken stuff.

Why buy new when used will do___as a spare!

I went over 8 years on one set of props, Hell I still have the originals on the boat from when I brought it home in Oct of 98!!!
The karma about a spare is that as soon as I had a spare set, 27" Hydros, is when I started having 'issues' and needed the spare set

Not sure if your single or twins, but why not have a used prop for a few hundo just to be out on the water!

RollWithIt, what size are you looking for? I have a spare set of Hydro IV's 27 pitch with recreational lab by BB that would be half the price of new.. Either way good luck with getting back on the water, Rick

The current props are 26 pitch Mirage 1's. They were labbed by somebody but I don't know to what extent or who did it. One of the previous owners had it done. How much are you asking for the Hydros?

If you were running 26 Bravo's my Hydro's will probably be too large for your application. I can spin my Bravo 30's a little bit higher than the Hydro 27's..

You should be able to find a nice used 26 and have it labbed to match your good one.

I think the plan will be to get a factory set of 26 Bravo props then, like suggested, send them out over the winter to lab them while there is no boating to worry about.
