Merc is selling new 4 blade ET's at the same price as the old 3 blades?

Someone may want to check for a pulse in the Fond du Lac accounting office. This ain't right. I say they up the 4 bladers 200 and drop the 3 blades the same. Whaddaya say boys?

CP the prices I posted are the part numbers for the PRO ET 4 blade

[stoker2001]

Thanks Al,
One more question what benefit does the satin finish have over the polished???The pro finished comes polished,but is non labbed,meaning it is not thinned or blueprinted.the labbed will usually run a couple more MPH and turn around 200 more RPMs with the satin finish (less shiney).Do a internet search as i have seen these non labbed Pro ETs selling for $709.00 (internet special),cant remember where?Again they still havent realesed them to the public as far as i know

[letnereat]

Thanks

Yeah, Al. I see that. What's your point? :confused:

[stoker2001]

Talked on phone to Mr Stiener today,the casting is starting this week,HEAVEN FORBID.I am first in line:confused: :D

[letnereat]

I can't wait for you to post some speeds & your opinion of these props...Please let us know

[Fish]

not to sidetrack the thread, but how much (if any) should I prop down going from a 3 blade et to a four? I have never run a 4 blade, but regularly run a 30ET. would I need to look at a 28, will it make a difference swinging another blade in RPM's? Thanks for the indulgence of a ignorant question.

fish

[letnereat]

It looks like you have the H.P I run the same pitch in a 3 blade and 4 blade.... 4 blade for me carries a load and has the better hole shot than the 3 blades less than 1/2 mile slower

[stoker2001]

Not starting any rumors,but i heard from testing that allegably has been done that you will be able to run higher transom Heights then three blade ETs without loosing efficiency/slip,hence you should be able to turn the same RPMs as the threes (pitch for pitch).I ordered mine in a non labbed version,which might be a mistake:confused:These Pro ETs will be the new X7 alloy.Merc claims it is 30%stronger and four times more durable then conventional stainless steal. http://sites.mercurymarine.com/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/PROPS/PRODUCTS/NEW%20PRODUCTS/ENERTIA-1.PDF

[TUNNEL T]

TALKED WITH STERINER TODAY AS WELL , he still said the noncounter small pitches are being tooled as we speak ,the 28 is in the r& r stages now . as for a set of counters in the 34 pitch , I NEED LETTERS OR E MAILS SENT TO SCOTT OR RON REGARDING THESE PROPS DCB ,SKATER SPECTRE PLEASE SEND E MAIL REGARDING PROPS!!!!@!!!! TUNNEL T( SO AS FOR NOW I'M ORDERING A SET OF 35" PITCH CLEAVERS AND HOPE I CAN KEEP THESE THINGS OFF THE REV LIMITER)

[stoker2001]

Well,i called Scott Reichow to rattle his cage about these ET4s and this chit is getting old as he says sometime in March now:confused: How ludicrous is it for Merc to announce these last February at Miami boat show,they should be ashamed:o Just need to vent as Jan and Feb is the only time i really have to test and tweek props,not to mention the weather out here in Cali has been bitchen.I am thinking about giong another direction:(

[Chummy]

It would be cool if the started making the regular ET's out of the X7 alloy, not that I have had problems breaking them, but stronger is better

[whipper]

I relize this is an old thread but did any of you guys get a pro et yet or is it still marchish? I am also interested in this prop. James

[whipper]

Feb 15/07 Released, You can buy one now!

[gfinch]

Whipper bring yours to the WAR and let me try it for you.

[whipper]

Shure lend me the 1200 bucks for 1 Prop and not a prob!!:eek: I can get a Tony ACU and a 30 chopper11 for the same doe! Ill have to keep buying used props or take the kids out of hockey,Figure skating,skiing,and Hapkito high ya! Ill wait till some one buys one to tall for there 260 and buy it for my 225 for 475-550.:D

[stoker2001]

Feb 15/07 Released, You can buy one now!You think so:confused: prove it:rolleyes:

[gfinch]

Whipper maybe we can get stoker2001 to come to the WAR07 at Shasta, May15th thru 19th. I'll bring my tools and we can test it for him when he isn't looking? Ya Think? Maybe Lou would be interested too but for other reasons!

Maybe Lou would be interested too but for other reasons![/QUOgTE]gfinch,didnt i meet you at the aly rally last April at Berryessa?I was there on Friday with my Mirage/drag looking for a little friendly competition,didnt get any takers:p Met Lou,he is a nice guy,would be fun to measure up against his XR2001 some day.Most,know what my boat runs as we run it on the IHBA circuit and will be racing at Red Bluff on Memorial weekend.Speaking of ET four props,i was talking to Ron Stiener at Mercury racing yesterday and he just happenened to have one 28 labbed et four Pro,so its on its way:eek: :D It will be for our 22' Stoker tunnel.Shasta in May sounds like fun,might have to make an apperance

[whipper]

There ya go Stoker ya bought one proof enough!:D You lucky sod im betting that things going to be a fun prop!!If ya go to Shasta I may see you there but not in my GSE.The _ricken insurance companies up here said if I take my boat to California and they find out they will cancel my policy!:eek: I tryied everywere same results. If you live in the US you are restricted as to how many Provences you can go and in Canada the same with the States and Cal aint on it! Bunch of crap. So I may Fly down anyway and flip burgures or something? Ive never been a bank Rat before but I could take lots of video of you rippen it up with your new PRO ET :cool:

Sweet let me know how it performes I am looking at that bad boy to. So that is the new ProEt? Looks a lot like a SC4 by Performance.http://www.performanceprops.com/propeller.html James

Were do you think they got the idea?

[stoker2001]

Sweet let me know how it performes I am looking at that bad boy to. So that is the new ProEt? Looks a lot like a SC4 by Performance.http://www.performanceprops.com/propeller.html JamesI have tryed one of there four blades and it didnt work well on my application,the blades were real thick compared to the new Pro ET.Thats not to say Tim and Billy couldnt build me a four to kick ass,cause i know they could,i just hate sending them 3000 miles multiple times to get dialed in.With this new alloy,hopefully i can chop wood with some reliability and post some good topend #s

[whipper]

Im thinken the same way.I have the DR4 of Billys and it rocks! The design works real good for every thing on my GSE. For an alrounder I love it because they are so thick.They sure are! You wont sling blades with a performance prop!!! I am hopeing that with a good 4 blade thats lighter the top end # will inprove over most 4 blades. I think if tests are faverable I wouldnt have to go down a pitch or two and still get a hole shot better than a 3 blade in a 30. The best props for my boat for top speed and hole shot are 30,s. Any lower and Im on the limiter to soon. I would like a 30 4 blade that could compare in top end to the choppers and if im right the Pro et may be the one!When ya going to try it? Is a 28 what you would run in a 3blade also? James

[stoker2001]

Ran the 28 PRO ET4 yesterday and it rocks.Was able to jack the motor to the moon and still gain efficiency,were the et 28 three would loose it.Was able to finese 90mph in less then ideal water (to flat).Wont be able to pull any slalom skiers,but real happy considering this is a big heavy tub and slip was a sweet 9.2%http://www.hotboat.com/image_center/data/500/medium/1052delta_hooky_020.jpg

[whipper]

What motor ya useing with it? Also were was you rpm at 90 I have a 225 promax and would need to spin a 28 to 6700 to get 90 I would think. If I can jacker up that most likely wouldnt be a problem. My DR4 at 3000ft I can go 85 at 6500 but thats realy pushing the hight factor:eek: Do you notice a wieght differance compared to other props? Oh ya grasshopper whants to know more but says too many Questions already.:D James

[inspectorlance]

Are you saying that you ran it on the 22 Stoker ?

[1BadAction]

I was told eventually ALL the props will be made from the new alloy. I may just try one of these 4 blades...

[stoker2001]

Are you saying that you ran it on the 22 Stoker ?Yes,The Stoker,the mirage would run 90 on three cylinders:D The RPMs was 6000 to 6100 with the Merc 250XS Optimax and sporty case with 1.62 ratio.The Pro ET does feel real light for having four blades,but the trailing edges are thicker then ET three blades that i have seen

[badluck]

I wonder if it would work well on an sst20 300x,Would it pull a light skier?Any thoughts 2001?

[stoker2001]

I wonder if it would work well on an sst20 300x,Would it pull a light skier?Any thoughts 2001?You got a smaller lighter boat with more power,so i would say yes to the skier and would highly reccommend this prop for your application

[badluck]

Did Drew hook you up?How much and where???

[Reaction19]

how do you think this prop would work on a reaction19 with a 250 efi merc 12'' of setback and a 1.75 torque master. also how high should i run it when i get mine i run the trophy and chopper 2-21/2'' below the pad right now...

[stoker2001]

Did Drew hook you up?How much and where???Drew hooked me up,burn him a call 925-828-5775.These Pro ETs are still in very limited production.I am thinking of offing mine as it really is a tad too much pitch for my tub when i have any passengers or more then twenty gallons of fuel:cool: I might keep it for the mirage tho:confused:

let me know. I,d be interested as I need a prop.I,ve been holding out for the pro instead of a bravo. Call me. I'll pm you my #
