Powertech props

I guess if you were to go back and read the first post, it was about Powertech propellers saying quite a few places are selling them...... nothing about site advertiser pricing at all. 

Then you hop in with the site advertiser pitch line.

And I mention that there are other choices and prices.

Then we disagree on pricing of stuff

Then you seem to agree with my first post about the Powertech props being good and cheaper than the comparable Acme. Imagine that.

I think I'm done "discussing" this 

So back to the powertech propellers.

installed a power tech 654 on my 08 196 yesterday. keep in mind boat is equipped with an e-control 5.0 and zero off. a 422 came of the boat so trying to compare the two props on this boat is kinda fruitless. reason for 654 in the first place was to get a bigger two footed slalom skier up out of the water as the 5.0 is not a 6.0 in power. the powertech did the job and the top speed was right at 46 mph at 5100 rpm. 5250 rpm is the rev limit on this engine so i feel the propeller size is in pretty good for this boat. though i would like to try an 1868 or a 4000 three blade.

Overall quality seems to be on par with the ACME, did a quick dicom lap test and the taper  and seemed to fit well on the shaft. the key way needed no filing. fit and finish seems very good. no vibrations at all and smooth and quite in hard turns.

recommend this propeller line as a alternative to the ACME line,, seems better priced too!

Let's say someone's looking for an Arco 70201 starter that has a MSRP of 220 from Arco and can easily be found for 160 ish with free shipping, are you gonna recommend they get it from NP or DIM for roughly a hundred bucks more for the same starter. (270 minus any discount plus shipping)

I can think of better ways to throw away a hundred bucks. 

I hope they give lots and lots of support to CCF

That's just one example of some questionable pricing policies they seem to have  There are others

And .........I know the code

Since you're plugging them, then explain the process for setting up an account and getting a discount from both places, to help out the typical CCFan

And like usual, you can often find the same thing at various different marine outfits at lower prices without having to use a little publicized discount code at nautiqueparts or getting no discount at all at Skidim except for maybe a sale every now and then if you're on their mailing list.

And.........at some places you can pay more too, so a little comparison shopping always helps.

They compare themselves to Acme in their advertising like for example a Powertech E40 is their version of an Acme 540 at a lower price

A friend put one on his boat that had an Acme 515 on it. It was a Powertech E15, so it was an apples to apples comparison.

Both apples tasted the same, but one was cheaper. 

Here's a link to the Powertech CNC nibral props page. They don't have nearly the variety that Acme does, but if they have what you're looking for, they might be worth a look
