SS Prop Repair Shop Recommendations?

[HalfFish5087]

As luck would have it, this weekend was my first weekend out after completing my rebuild and I found a tree stump. :facepalm: I bent both front and rear props on my DP drive and I'm looking for recommendations for prop repair shops. I have called around to local marine shops in Arkansas and most shops have informed me that send their props out-of-state for repair. I have F7 SS volvo duo props.

Since I'm getting this done would anyone recommend double cupping or any other mods? The boat moves great with the current setup with the F7's (prior to its demise). But, I would like a little better hole shot.

Thanks!

Anyone used PropMD (MN), Wilmington Prop Service (CA), Midwest (KS), Dan's (TN), Boat City Prop Shop (OKC) or anyone else you care to recommend? Thanks!

Mazco in St Louis is good as is Bblades up in Wisconsin. I don't know if they have the blocks for Volvo props though.

Use Prop MD, they have the correct gage blocks. DO NOT add cup or any mod's. Have them restored to original specs.

Dude, you're supposed to at least let the resin harden before you start breaking her up again!

I know, right! My luck has been terrible lately. Going to go ahead and crack open the lower to inspect while I'm waiting on the props. Lets hope I don't find any other damage.
