lab finish, what did you gain?
I just sent my 28 Bravo prop out to get blueprinted (Labbed) today, for my Eliminator Daytona 25 Cat, and was wondering what to expect in top speed increase, and cruising rpm's.
I sent the prop to York propeller in CA. after hearing lots of good stuff about their work, anyone have their Props done there??
Thanks,
RON...

when the props return, are they knife sharp to the touch. ie would it be a concern with people swimming off the swim platform or just the same safety concern as any other stainless prop.

Anyone in West Michigan area (Holland/Grand Rapids) have lab finished props, I would like to look at them. seriously considering labbing, but 75% of my boating inccudes my 3 year old, and nieces and nephew swimming off the boat with the boat backed into the beach area and the drives up.
I want to lab but would hate to injure them just cause i was looking for 2 mph :
yet I'm looking for the 2 mph:
what to do

I just got my prop labbed. I have small kids too. After reading this thread maybe I will keep an old towel on board and wrap it around the prop when the kids are swimming. Just don't want to forget to take it off when I leave.

Labbed round ear props are not that bad. If you kicked one with some force you would probably get cut. I had a pair of cleavers that were much sharper (you even had to be careful handling them), and the tip is extremely sharp and could easily pierce flesh. If you are running round eared props I would not worry as much. I had a girl kick one of my cleavers and she sustained about a 4" cut on her ankle. I have never had anyone injured on the round ears.
