Labbed 30 Bravo 1's BBlades
I have a set of labbed finished 30" Bravo 1 4 Blades for sale.
Merc #48-831917 & 48-831918
These have low hours and are in VERY GOOD condition. BBlades balanced and labbed them. $1250 takes them. I'll even throw in the shipping in the US!
PM me your number and I'll call you.

I just tested these props, even had my local prop shop look them over.....they are perfect. (unfortunately just a little too small for my boat)
Thanks again Dave!!!!

Hey Russ, No problem!!
Rob,
I think he did the standard BBlades lab on these. Thin the trailing edges, move the cup closer to the tip, and balance them. Nothing changed to the 15 1/4" diameter. He would share the details with the potential buyer. Not sure if the slip went up or not, but the boat did gain 4mph on top! (of course more rpm's)
I didn't use these props much (only for top end runs) in the last 2 years. The maximus set he did for me were better and more just for my set-up. Now, with more torque and HP, these aren't enough. Had to go with a set of 32's for now!

2nd opinion:
My prop guy (who did NOT do any work on them) asked who did them cause they were done very well.
He said it looked like the leading edges had been sharpened/tapered but the "meat" of the blade had not been thinned, and that the cup had been worked a little. He doubled checked them and said the props were balanced and straightened and matched to each other very well. Since they were too small for my boat I've asked my prop guy to do the same thing on my 32's.

I can't remember which set he did what too...
I'm sure that's correct, I'd still contact Brett for the details!

Like you said, the buyer should check them out for themselves.....I'm just passing on what I was told by someone that knows more than I do. (which is alot of people!!!)
