Should be OK on the hardware side. Prop scan and Hale MRI are roughly the same thing.
The main thing is ask them what information they need to optimize your boat.
I had to provide too much to list here. I can tell you it was 2 pages. I can also tell you since I had my props computer balanced and tuned....It has never run better from a propulsion standpoint

Met the man and he did our props back in 2000. Good job. Everyone who has their system has also done a good job. Everyone who does not have their system has not done as good a job. Watch the old man. The son is great. Old man will talk up the price, son will not. At least that was what it was back in 2000.
If I may add. Ask Hale if they can cup the prop on the tip of the prop blades.
It is a very interesting concept. I first discovered it in 2009 and have been studying it for 2 years. It's almost as if the prop acts as if it were a suction evac system for water. The local prop shop said it was great for props in tunnels.
I know I have to pull Saint Max next year. If the money permits, I may have the props relooked by a different shop.
My 2 cents.

Cups come in what I have heard are three levels. Check with Michigan etc. or some other shop before you commit to a large cup. We did C1 based on a recommendation from Michigan Wheel and it worked out well. As pointed out it's a small crease in the trailing edge. At C1 you should just be able to feel it curl.
They have done mine.....twice, the first time was when I bought the boat and wanted them checked. They took a lot of info, added cup, and they worked great. After a few years and a "mishap", they went back, they had all the info, did them over (they were banged up pretty bad) and they worked great.
