Default Mercury Lab vs. BBlade Lab

Do they both do the exact same thing? What is the difference?

I don't know if you want my response or some one elses? I will wait to hear your desire.

But I will say..........I spent 12 years at Merc and Merc Racing and ultimately managed the propeller labratory.

We can do exactly what Merc does (to Merc. spec.) and more.

They build a prop for your boats needs not for everyones needs. I used Brett and also bought a merc labbed prop and the one brett finished is 2mph faster and dosent loose as much speed witha load in the boat. Just my 2 cents

I have to agree and when I bought mine from Brett is was actually cheaper by a couple bucks compared to a Merc lab sold be Teague!

Not to mention if you buy a labbed prop from Mercury, it is what it is. If it needs adjusting for RPM, speed, or a ride characteristic, whos going to do it?? It wont be Mercury. Your better of dealing with Brett, unless you know exactly what you boat needs.

Another BBlades satisfied customer here.

Service after the sale is what makes me spend my money. Go with Brett !!!
