I like BBlades and am running one of their props now but I don't get this part:
- Tester is responsible for the $55 test fee per propeller, per test. This fee Does Not go towards the purchase price of the propeller

People often question this charge. I'm still floored by that response.
Here are some of the reasons we run the program the way we do.
Consider over 100K in test inventory. Who does that?
We can have a 30 minute conversation or longer to help a customer decide what to try on their specific rig. Then pull the part and get it to shipping. Make up the invoice and paperwork and physically get it out the door.
How about people who test 3 different props to decide on buying one. But, we still have to maintain that inventory to make comparison tests.
Some people don't return props on time (alot of people) so we lose a sale/test to some one who may have wanted to try a prop out on test.
2 or 3 people want to test the same prop at once so we try to keep at least 2 or 3 in the test.
Managing the program is a part time responsibility for all office personel.
These are some of the reasons we have a charge to test. When you rent a DVD and return it, you can often purchase them but if don't, you don't get the rental fee back.
I'm not trying to sound bitter by any means, it just seems strange that some people think we are taking advantage when we feel we are offering the best program out there.
Others say they have test programs but they do not allow you to walk away without buying something. We do.
We are truly trying to make the best consultation, test and buying experience in the industry.
Thank you,
Brett

Working with Brad from BBlades now to prop my Gladiator. They gather information on a call and are very good at picking demo props. The Maximus 5-blades seem like a great fit for my boat. Did my demo, completed the spec sheet, and will have them labbed. Assuming all goes well, should pick up 4-5mph and the props bite better when planing.
Unless you a lot of time and happen to stumble on someone with used props that are labbed perfect for your hull and set-up, the BBlades process is the way to go.

I know I have tested props in the past that worked perfectly, ordered a new set of the same props and did not get the same result. I understand the test props are used, the set of 4-Speeds I tested had been repaired and had a few nicks on the blades, but the 23 Enertia Ecos I would have been happy to keep.
