I'm in the market for a set of props for my new boat. (28' Cmate w/ dual 300X Mercs, SM gearcase (1.75), 20" setback, prop shaft even w/ bottom).
My first choice on props were the standard Merc Choppers. My past experience is they are great on top end and mid range punch but lousy on hole shots and carring a load on a heavy boat. They are relatively cheap to buy (except the newer ETs)
Next choice would be the Merc Tempest+ (3 blade) but I soon found out that Mercury doesn't make a Tempest LH larger then 23".......
Next choice is Mirage+ props. Good out of the hole. Lots of used Mirages for sale. The + props have vent holes and the Flo Torque hub. When blue printed they are great on top end.
Next choice would be the 4 blade Bravo 1s. They are relatively cheap to buy (Jacco- $383.00). GREAT hole shots and mid range punch.
What props would you guys pick? Any other props?
Thanks-
SCT
