Comparison Bullet cut Performer, ET cut Performer, ProET

[marty33]

COULD SOME ONE KINDLY HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE, AND WHICH ONE SHOULD RUN BEST ON A 300XS 21XD or 300xs Stroker

The Bullet cut performer has some of the top of the ear clipped off so there is less blade mass over a standard round eared Performer. The repositioning of the cupped area and angle allows the prop a little less slip.

The ET cut Performer has even less blade area to push through the water so it should be a little faster in some applications but on the 21 foot Bullet it may not have enough mass to carry a full fishing load.

If you have a Bullet cut Performer it can be re cut into a ET but not the other way around. Both of these cuts are still 15" diameter.

The Pro ET has a little different design, less blade mass and is only 14.5" diameter, and thinner blades.

Thanks Lou , Have you tried both on your Stroker and do you prefer one over the other. It sounds like the Pro ET does not have blade surface for a loaded Bullet or Stroker. I f you have tried both ET and Bullet cut on your Stroker is there a big difference in speed?

Lou can correct me if I am wrong...but I believe the Strokers like the Performer prop best. Not the bullet cut, et cut...etc. just the plain Performer.

I have had the best success with the et cut on the Strokers. The bullet cut is my second choice.

The 3 and 4 blade et's are fastest with the bullet cut performers great for a lighter fishing load. They carry the nose better.

Marty, I have run a pro et on a stroker and it was one of the best handling props I've run........until it became a 3 blade prop...........
The engine heights we run our boats are too high for the prop to stay together for any length of time, IMO.

The bullet cut performer is a more durable propeller and will run comparable speeds to a pro et.
