I removed my Bravo 3's in the fall and I'm in the process of cleaning / sanding them down. Would be a lot easier to drop them off if the price is reasonable.
Will it warm up already!

In 2014 it cost me $200 for two IO drives.
At first I thought I could do this myself, cleaning, sanding, brushing, etc.
For the amount of work I had ahead of me, and considering their results, I would have been happy to pay three times this price!
After the blasting, the drives were extremely clean and ready to be primed, I almost hated to even get finger prints on them, they looked that clean.
It's a steal of a price for the work they do for you.
I prepped the drives, removed all the decals, masked off areas where I didn't want them to blast (mating surfaces, bearings seals, shafts, etc.).
I added the before and after photos below.
The drives looked brand new after I was done. Of course the pimples didn't show up until about a week later. LOL
After being in the lake water for a year or more now, they don't look as shiny and new as they did the day when I completed them, but I'm glad I did this work, and would do it again.
