    What kind of difference to expect from b&b

    I have a Phoenix 919. Runs about 73 with a 25 fury and full load with 2 guys. I have a spare 26 tempest sitting around. Think it would be worth the money to send it off and get it blueprinted? What kind of gains can you expect from a factory prop to a blueprinted prop?

    Props vary in performance, Even in the same brand, style and pitch. If you have a poor performing new prop, Lot's of gain can be had. If you have a near perfect new prop, It may show very little gain. Having a prop B&BP ensures you to have the best opportunity for more speed and efficiency.

    And very few new props perform their best. Usually each blade's pitch doesn't match the others, and they are out of balance. And a good prop guy can customize for your needs, like extra bow lift, etc.
