Re: 30hp etec prop opinions

Again, there is no such guarantee as the one you have heard. Everything must be right with the hull, and the RPM must be right as well. I have seen cases where performance has actually descreased with the same size SST prop installed because of an RPM drop, your power trim will certainly help take advantage of the SST because you can usually trim the SST props out farther without ventilation.
And yes, one of the performance benefits of the SST is that its blades are thinner and flex less than the aluminum props.
