I've run the PowerTech OFX on several heavy old V- bottoms. In testing back to back (same pitch) with the Merc Bravo One, I've found the PowerTech to be up to 2.5 mph faster on top end over the Merc. The Merc did out perform the PT at mid range cruise.
All told, I've been extremely impressed with PowerTech propellers. I feel they are about the most efficient box stock prop on the market today. They are very reasonably priced and more often than not, out perform props two to three times the price.
I had just ordered a set of 28 PT's, hope to get them tomorrow. I'll post the results.

At this point in time all I am trying to do is find history / experience on the Powertech OFX versus Bravo prop on a similar rig as mine. So far no luck in that regard.
Thanks,
Bill

Your post #71 on this thread is why I thought that you were a Powertech dealer... at least this time last year.

-Rage, I got a bit confused with PowerTech prop designations. Sorry but I have NOT yet run the OFX series PowerTech prop.
I have had great sucess with their OFS series prop on heavy older straight bottom boats. I'm currently running the OFS on my Top Gun

Rage,
We were aproached to sell the product and we would have if people were interested. However, we never recieved any requests for them. Also, their product was lack luster in my opinion. That being said, I feel they have come a long way recently. They are working with a number of other manufacturers and produce castings for many groups. This operation has, I'm sure, taught them a great deal. As I have said before, they make a good product. We just feel some of the other products we sell are as good and in most cases better. Every identical application is different. Therefore, on any given day, Hering, Mercury, TU, PT, Turbo or hopefully BBLADES own castings will give the best numbers. Untill then we will continue offer the best services we can.
