My props are being delivered today by the Propscan guy. He sent these pictures ahead of delivery and I can't wait to run her tomorrow!

Almost too pretty to put under a boat where you can't see them
 
Thanks, just spoke to my Harbormaster and the diver is there to install. Kind of like Christmas for me!
 
Can they embed LED lights into each blade for more effect?
 
Notice those lines on each blade. They are the radii that the pitch is measured at on each blade. Typical scans are made to 4 or 5 radii. I had two pair of props that I had reworked to be the same pitch. When we swapped them out the perforamance was different between the sets. Had the shop re-scan down to 8 radii and found that the props were different in the inner radii. Reason was because the second set of props were originally cast with 2" less pitch when new. When they were reworked, they weren't the same as the other set that originally had 1" more pitch when cast new. Important to know this info if you are tyring to get to sets of props to be identical to each other....especially if you only swap out one prop for example after hitting something.....best to swap out in pairs.
 
You just pooped in his Christmas stocking.
 
And it was squishy! Got to the boat, washed her a bit and the wind kicked up to about 35 knots. Not good for towing a tender so I am in the damn marina until first light. The wind has not subsided yet...
