We carry some of the Signature props. We like the Bravo 2 Big Cow prop and the Bravo 3 4by4 sets.
The pleasure 5 is a fine prop for a family boat that carries alot of people and gear and participates in water sports. It isn't a performance style propeller that can be Labbed or modified well. It gives you 5 blde attributes in a modest price point.
Don't expect stellar performance.

We sell those too.
Basically a large diameter bravo 1 blade copy.
We have had better performance with the Maximus but haven't tested back to back on very many applications.
Labbed Maximus's are the best performer. Obviously their is a cost difference.
We are working on a 5 blade as well.

bblades 4 speed 32s, Hydromotive PX5 31s,Bravo 1 34s,Not saying these props are bad,not saying that at all,they just did not work on my boat.

I also tried dealing with Cutting Edge,spoke with Augustin a couple of times but we really couldnt pin down what props would work for me so I moved on,

Just wanted to give an update, these props perform very well, good looking props, very smooth, mid range is awesome I have no complaints at all as a matter fact I am so happy with them I ordered another set, I ordered a set of four blades to have as a back up, well worth the money ,
