Propeller Question
Just for shoots and giggles I took my 2nd best topend prop and made a templet of one of the blades. As I match it up to the other blades it is not even close to being dead on. Now I know this prop has been worked on (probably a lot). I also know if it works leave it alone. Would it do any good, even in theory to true them to each other and rebalance this prop?

If it's been worked on that much, your'e better off with a new prop. If it isn't vibrating, leave it alone..................

I would say not if it is your second best.
Try "blueprinting" a prop lower on your list and see if it gets better ... but after you blueprint it, it will have to be balanced again
