Thumbs up

So what s the difference?
Do they all do the same to improve the prop?
In that case perhaps its not a great science..........I have had several props balanced etc and listed the characteristics of the boat prior to work and when tested next to the old props there seems very little difference (all within the rules of the series)

Boring subject I know but in the one make series where its not a free for all and props are occasionally checked, would it make much difference if one team (or two) had their prop improved (on the assumption there is much or little that can be done with this part)......................?
