Thanks for the information. Mine is a small 25' light 3700 lb single engine Nordic Rage stepped V bottom hull running in the low to md 80's at 5600 - 5800 rpm with a heavily labbed Bravo 28. It was suggested that if I could not make my boat porpouse by trimming out with the current prop (I can not) that more bow lift might improve top end speed. The Protech OFX was proposed for max bow lift. I am trying to learn more about this claim.

Please read the history I just posted explaining why I am asking about the Powertech OFX prop. I may or may not need a bow lifting prop. I do not know at this point. If I do not I will stick with a Bravo. The Powertech OFX is appealing to me for a number of reasons...it comes in one inch pitch increments, they offer an exchange (for a fee) if the pitch is not right and the price. I believe Hydromotive's are pricier. One down side for me is that 28 is the max pitch available and I may need more. TBD with future dyno test.

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

Brett,

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

Thanks again for your comments.

-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

I recieved a set of PowerTech 4 blade OFX 28's and a single 3 blade 24 OFX today. Thought I'd share a few pics as they are a very interesting design.
The round ear prop is the PowerTech OFS.

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.

Biggus did you get the OFX for the boat you're currently running the OFS props on? Just curious what the difference in speed and handling was between the OFS and OFX.

-No, the OFX's are not for my Cig. I'd try them but they were fitted with 1" hubs. (I'm running Konrad drives, 1.25" shafts)

Kurt,

What boat are the set of OFX4 28's for and the OFX3 24?

Got ya, well please let us know your opinion on the OFX props. I have to say this prop has my attention!
