merc chopper prop

[JW]

I might be picking up an XR2 for the Vector with a 2:1 gear case. I'll be needing to play with props soon also. $$$

I ran a copper on the trimate when I was doing some testing with differant props. The hole shot was real bad the the top end was the same as the laser. The chopper just did not seem to carry the boat as well as the laser.

JW, an XR2. Very cool. Got a brand new rapture 25p that you can try. I have yet to run it.

I'm thinking of trying a Ballistic

 

[Checkmark]

Did you read that review in B&W? They gave the Ballistic high marks. Weird looking thing with the blade clipped like that.

As far as choppers go, I had one on my Enchanter that was my favorite prop. They need to be built with extra cup and they hook up really well. The fun part is trying to handle them at WOT. Made it fun to drive for sure.

I ran a 24 chopper on the pulse: tough out of the hole, but when it hooked up it was wicked, great mid range punch, and higher RPM's

175checkmate, Why didn't you like the ballistic?

 

[Brian]

While on the subject of props and rigging , iam going to need help setting up the black enchanter(Ebay enchanter) .it has an aluminum prop and motor is on transom set on lowest setting.OC.

 

[Brian]

OC first start by measuring the drive shaft height from the bottom of the boat, should be somewere around 2-3" above the pad. GET RID OF THAT ALUMINUM PROP. Get a good stainless.What are you looking to do with it ski, speed, etc.?

 

[JW]

I think Brian means the propshaft should be 2-3" BELOW the pad.....

Brian,
I was running a 27p 4 blade. Man what a prop. Killer hole shot, trim the bow where ever you want it. But at WOT the boat developed a wiggle that started in the stern and worked forward. Not chine walk. A wiggle. Installed solid mounts and made sure the steering was tight but that was no help. Just about sold the boat. Switched to the laser and it was like a differant boat. Traded the prop in for a 25p rapture. Have not run the new prop yet.
