I originally said they were 28p, but after removing them I saw they are 26p B3 props. The prop guy by me is closed until March, so when he opens back up I'll be dropping them off for repair, balance, and polishing. He suggested I wait to lab them until I see how it runs because Mercruiser is notorious for over propping stock power plants. I can always have them labbed later if the numbers indicate it will help. I'll be in Germany and Italy in March anyway, so it won't impact my launch date. I'm going to have her detailed top to bottom, inside and out, including the trailer when I'm gone as well.

I also have the drive shower to cool the drive down so it doesn't boil the fluid out of the reservoir like it did last season, as well as a new steering wheel and cable to install. Going to be a busy spring, but I'll have it in the water as soon as the ice melts one way or another!
