Customizing a propeller

[PerchJerker]

Does anyone have a contact or recommendation for a good propeller shop that does customizing --- I think the term for it is blueprinting? It's not repairing propellers, it's modifying them to tweak performance. I've tested different props on my boat and have it dialed in pretty good, but I think it could still use some tweaking. I used to have the name of a good shop for this but for the life of me I can't find it now

D.A.H. Propellers in Burlington, Wisconsin has a very good reputation.

Solderblooms (Duluth forum sponsor) would also be a good option ,,I have heard lots of good things about his work

I think we can help you out. We have been doing prop modifications and repair for about 20 years. Did some tuning for Northlander last year and he picked up a few mph.

Sounds good, I'll get in contact with you.

It's not more speed I'm looking for, it's that I'd like to be able to keep the speed as I get more of a load in the boat (so I guess I really am looking for more speed). With me and a light/normal load in the boat it runs great, but it seems like the speed falls off fast as get 1 or 2 more guys in the boat.

Go to www.soderbloom.com and get Jays phone # and call him with your questions. He did a prop for me and I love it. He popped some exhaust holes and put a nice cupping and lip on my stainless and it runs faster at and holds corners real nice.
