best prop for cat twin OB's
 
Have a Skater 28' w/280's anyone tried anything else other than 3 blade merc cleavers, like maybe merc ET's ?
Any other combination work well?

Thanks

Do a search on screamandfly.com
There is a ton of information on setup of 28 skaters over there.

BBLADES Blasters.
Hands down.

Everyday props, Labbed BBLADES Bravo 1 OB's.

I know, I'm a advertiser but, no BS.

Mazco OS Cleavers worked great on my twin outboard Talon.

Heard Bravo 1's don't plane well from more nthan a couple sources even with vent holes and are not as fast as 3 blade cleavers?
I have 3 blade cleavers and they plane great and have good top end, but slow acceleration .Trying to get the one thing they don't have is to accel,why not Lighting ET's?? Not durable enough?
Thanks

Lightning ET's will work fine.
Our 4 blade Blasters will be the better acceleration prop.
We have just adjusted the heat treat process to add more strength to the castings. We are validating the performance as we speak and should have full inventory levels of propellers in about 2 weeks.
We do have these propellers for testing prior to purchase.

Thanks Brett,
Maybe we'll give them a test try in the spring,if they would accel better and only be couple mph slower would be ok,if you can out accel someone it takes a long time for them to catch back up.
Just seems like the 3 blade cleavers take a while to get all wound out,but they do handle great.

I have 14% slip would like to get that at least down to 12

How do the blasters compare to Merc ET 4 blades,i'm not and ET nut , just don't know what else to try and i know they work ok on singles for lake use.

Blasters are a 1/4" smaller in diameter than the Pro ET with a different parabolic rake angle.
They are very fast and have great load carry capacity and planning characteristics.
