Default Powder coated props

I have seen some stainless steel mercury props that are powder coated blue. Sounds like it might be a neat thing to do. Has anyone tried this.

Don't quite understand what you are trying to say? The powdercoat looks like a nice trick thing to do if it does not decrease performance. If merc has them stock why not use one from them? Is there anything wrong with the one's from merc?

LOL, speaking of props. I am trying the Hering 6 blades (27's) and a new set of labbed 28 Mercs. I currently run Labbed 30's but I am short on my RPM's.

My buddies have said I may lose top end with the Herings and gain midrange. I am in no way interested in that. Whichever one's are faster are the ones I will take.
