Polishing will put a smile on your face -
But seriously it does help prevent vibration
to keep leading edges smooth with an orbital
sander and adds a mph or two...

I've noticed that polishing and slightly thinning the leading edges of the blade you maintain RPM much better through thick vegetation. I also was able to add cup to the prop afterwards which helped hole shot and helped to keep the boat on step with less RPM |

It was definitely worth the effort! Threw another guy ( about 120lbs) In with us and held the same speeds as before. Also helped out on cavitation. |

What all did you use to polish it and how long did it take? I just got a new three blade prop and I have been thinking about doing the same thing. |

Started with 80 then 600 and finished with 1500, used a orbital sander and wet paper. It took a couple days here and there! Lol |

Shoulda gator glide it. +3 mph instantly I'm sure. Just kidding man, I didn't think it would make that big of a difference having it polished. Pretty impressed I must say |
