Any o/b guys tried one? Wildman, got any layin around you can throw on one of your 'Mates for a beat run?

I really want to try one, but they are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:irked:

After the $440 Bravo 1 blunder I'm a bit gunshy.. good news is I sold that and got another one the way to try this week. 29P TXP :D
 
These props work better on lighter hulls. They are made to spin up fast and run high RPM's for a better ET.
 
ET Copy

BadBK, I've got a Mazco RE that is an ET copy (28p) that not only gave me more mph but also seemed to drive easier. It replaced a big ear chopper same pitch.

Hey BK, is your Yami the same as a Fat Shaft Merc???

Is the Mazco Flo-Torque? If BK isn't interested I may be.

Flo torq hub? Send some pics and a price to j_burback@yahoo.com when you get a chance. I'm definitely interested. Why'd you replace it with a chopper?

Yami is small spline/flo torq hub.
 
Been down that Pro ET road already

Worked well but not the holeshot i expected,also my fastest prop to date, but not worth risking throwing a blade as the've been know to do.Had a 28" and a 30" and sold them both while they were still in good shape.

:eyecrazy: That would suck.... I could get my L/U mod then though if it schmeged something. :bigthumb:

Did the ones you tried out have PVS holes? single/dual? Might just slap in on there and see how close to that 92.8 I can creep up on:poke:

Got a 29 TXP enroute now and should be perdy fast too, but we'll see.:thumb:
 
A 28 ET was also the fastest prop on my 2100BR/300X. It was faster by 2+ mph over a tricked out Trophy. But that being said, I didn't like the holeshot or the hadling of the ET. Plus, I was scared to death of hitting a rock after paying big bucks for the ET. Great props but I agree they probably run on lighter SOBs better....

Maybe, you can pick up a cheaper ET copy or a chopper prop that has an ET bend on it.

Good luck and try has many props as you can find, beg or steal!

Jesus! Prop whore.... I'd like to try a 28 Hydromotive/28 Performer 4 too. A worked over 30 Bravo might be worth a try, but the 28 Bravo I tried I wasn't impressed with. Hoping my 29 TXP works well.
 
You Got That Right

I totally agree with Chris (bluehealer) My chopper has a much better hole-shot than the ET. The ET is a bunch lighter meaning less metal so I use it just occasionally. I carefully inspect it on a regular basis and do expect it to become a paper weight eventually. With that being said its still my best mph prop.
