New at this forum; but just want to give a call out. Bought my first set of 5-blade Cutting Edge Propellers. I've been boating offshore for most of my adult life, and the Cutting Edge props are some of the most smooth performance props I've ever had on my boat. I run a 36-foot twin step Cig with a pair of 500's and just picked up 3 MPH accross the board! Used all the top guys before but I think the new guy on the block, Cutting Edge, is the way to go! At 3600 the boat's running 52 MPH, top speed of 84. Agustin worked diligently with me until we dialed the props in. This was key for me.

He is awesome and has great prices....

We found these to better than the Herring props we have historically invested into, Great Product , Outstanding Performance

I've been using them for several years, just shipped them another prop out yesterday to get cleaned up. Auggie will work you until you are completely satified Cutting edge will get all my prop business.

Outstanding performance.

Just got my 35 year old prop back from the guy's at Cutting Edge, as you can imagine this prop was is very rough shape before Auggie and the guy's worked there magic. Give them a call they do great work very responsive and great prices. This is my third prop they have worked on and I have had nothing but great service and results with them. I hope this picture will post.

I have two of their custom 5 blade bravo props, one got damaged first day I used it. Sent it back, they cut it down some and straighten it. They told me it would only be a good spare. It still performs so well it's typically what I'm running. The other prop [higher pitch] was so good out of the box, I've yet to send it back to be further tuned as suggested.

Simply told them what I had for power, prop specs I was running, and what change I was looking for. They did the rest, couldn't be happier...

Here is a 35" pitch prop they built for me, and I trashed first day by snagging a piece of steel cable [which it cut thru]. I sent it back, Gregg was still involved at that time, he called me up and ask "what should I do with that thing". I said hang it on your wall if ya want man, it's toast so just build me another one. Couple days later he called back and said it's fixed up and on the way to ya so ya have a spare.

It's a bit smaller diameter now [about 1/4 to 1/2 inch overall] but still runs within 2mph of my bigger 37p on top end. They could have just taken my money for building another one and tossed it in the trash. The price charged to fix it was more than fair in my book..

No need to have reduced diameter on that repair.
We would have put it back to the original specs. It would be good as new. It would be a 4ish hour repair though.
I'm not trying to cut down or step on any toes. I'm just doing what I have done on here for the last 8 years. And that is shoot straight with my comments and advice.

Brett/BBLADES

No problem Brett, I know plenty of guys who are extremely happy with your props also.

I've never measured exactly what was shaved off it, just can tell it's got a little more clearance than my 37" pitch. Our main concern on that first setup was blade thickness, I'm putting over 1000ft lbs to the water. Before going to the 5 blades, I could blow a 4 blade 32" out of the water at 1/2 throttle and full down trim like it was a 13" radial on a drag car. The 37" heavily cupped I had built hooks up great, just little more slip [21%] on the big end. But I'm only spinning the prop shaft 3000R's @ 80mph.

Always room for improvement, I'll gladly test a prop design for ya. I think they repaired that 35 prop for like $150 shipped, so I was happy.

PS: here is a couple links to data logs of runs between the repaired 35 and the 37. Actually they hit the same top speed, just at different rpms. I'm now being limited by a little hull hook, drive height, the 1:26 ratio, and it's running out of turbo.

I bought 3 props from Cutting Edge. 25p 5 blade. Ran for part of the summer and had slip numbers in the 19-21 range. Sent them off to get worked on with a competitor of Cutting Edge because I could not seem to get Cutting Edge to reply to emails. The competitor was not successful in resolving my issues. So again I have tried to get Cutting Edge to address the bad slip numbers.
To date I have sent 6 emails and between Greg leaving and no satisfaction from current business owner, I'm at a loss on why anyone would want to buy anything from Cutting Edge.
They don't stand behind their product and the manufacturing defects in my props are so bad that I am unable to run them.
I'm happy Cutting Edge has supported some of their customers, but from my experience, buyer beware.
