Try the Grimracer prop from Aquacraft. They are decently sharpened and balanced right out of the package.

I bought 4 props from Andy. They were sharp but not that well balanced. Normally I do my own but had to see how mine compared to his.
I do have 2 of his new CNC'ed props on the way though, billet steel for my gas boat. He is also making some very light aluminum ones too.

The initial prices/introductory offer are comparable to if not less than whatyou might pay to have an Octura balanced and sharpened. I've already seen 2 of the aluminum ones. They are amazingly light and very well done.
Contact them to see what they have for your boat.

Are the aluminum props are cast or cnc ? I ordered a y 535 for starters . I bought the boat with a grim racer prop and gave it a try . major improvment over the stock plastic one it came with ! i am still playing with prop depth and angle . i cant wait to see what a sharp octura does for it !!!

Andy's props are all CNC'ed. He bought a big CNC to make engines with but so far he's playing with transom hardware and props. He's experimenting with different diameters, pitches and amounts of lift (3 stages, low/no, medium and high lift) to see what people like. The prototypes are going out the door cheap but expect the tags to go up later on.
