Thanks, but I don't think you want to buy this propeller: I'm in Europe... (The shipping cost would be more than the sales price.)

OK, thanks!
You mean they had high gloss finish before the labbing? (From what I've heard the lab finish props are always a bit more of a "satin finish" surface than regular propellers. )

Yes, that's how it is. However, it would be interesting to hear what the real differences are construction-wise... (other than the deck being bolted on the Formula and glassed on the Pantera).
