Propping an STV EURO

[DXDY Freak]

Getting ready to prop an STV EURO with a modified 260. Curiuos with all the STV/Tunnel owners on the site, Which prop performs the best on this application??? Thanks:)

28 Et

An ET is the best all around performer for this rig. I personally like a 26p. It accellerates hard and still pulls easily over 100mph. If you want more speed........go bigger. If you want pure top end numbers............go with a cleaver.

I like the 30 ET, but I guess we are splitting hairs here.:D I have tried a lot of different props and I personally like the ET best. For me, it was faster than the mazco (my previous favorite) and had less torque in the steering.

However, I know a few people who run cleavers and those who do seem to be putting up really impressive numbers (I believe Helmut used one and was over or right at 130mph) and a couple others. I could not find my groove with the cleaver, but that is probably more my fault than the props.

BTW, generally speaking... Chopper= bow lift; cleaver= stern lift; something like an ET is sort of in the middle.

Good luck, and post some pics of your ride.

I use a 28ET most of the time.
a lab cleaver for a top end

Thanks for the info, sounds like the et is the way to go. Fish, I'll try to post some pic's tommorrow.
