Pro ET is no longer available from Mercury

The Pro ET's are done. I just got off the phone with Scott at Mercury and he said they are using some of the Pro ET tooling and using it to produce Pro Max props. I just brought in a Pro Max 30 and 32 that we shipped to Joe Partyka to run on this Talon with a 300xs on it to see what results he gets. Scott assured me that the Pro Max is a better prop for the 300x and 300xs. We will keep you posted. Thanks

Pro ET worked better for me on my 21 Intimidator with a 15" 300x then the Pro Max. Handled better and better top end but maybe thats just my experience on my application

the bblades blaster is very similar to the pro et... i think those would be nice performers on the talon .

Tried them, Pro Et was better on my boats. I do have a Pro Et labbed by Bblades though, beautiful prop

I think you are holding on to it because deep inside you know darn well that the 21 style boats are the real fun toys and a must have in the stable........

To date, the BBlades has run the fastest on our 400R and the 300xs boats. Now with that said we have seen lots of prop failures and no longer are using them till BBlades gets this casting issue figured out. We are not far off those numbers now with with the Mercury Props. I know one of the guys with a 300xs is trying out Doug at Spinelli's props, one of the 400R guys is getting ready to work with Todd at Hydromotive, so we are working with a lot of combinations to get the best performance. I will post how the new Pro Max's work out. Thanks

The Bblades Blaster is a reworked Hill prop. Thats why the failures.
Im a dealer for Performance Propeller and their SC4 (Pro ET Copy) is a much better prop.

as usual, mercury went for the larger boat market with pro max prop and screwed the small boat market by discontinuing the pro et

I have had similar experience on my 21 shadow. The Pro ET carried the boat much better and was a much tighter feeling prop when running at speed. Promax was very stiff, tough to plane and slower to accelerate on my application than the Pro ET.

Same here!
The ProEt was the better wheel on my 21 RS with the 300PM!

Wonder who's gonna pick up the lost business from the small boat market...these companies are only catering to these useless heavy ass boats and their needs. Soon all that'll be available are 4 and 5 blade monsters for "offshore" guys. That's my rant for today

Have to admit though that the Pro Et was too often throwing a blade at some point. I found the old Spinelli DR4 ran faster for me and never had one break. If Spinelli could get a flo torque installed and made a 14.75 blade with a touch more cup I think that would be the ticket and he would have alot of sales to the lighter SOB crowd that is needing a great prop so badly.

I thought spinelli is making a flo-torque now?
