Has anyone used this prop on an Eyra. It ia a four blade Hydromotive QUAD IV X O/B SST. From what Ive read they are some nice props so Im just looking for some feed back on them. BrianBrianHAWG Hunter2013 BassCat Eyra2013 Mercury 250 Pro XS Gen2 L/U

We doubt that wheel has been run on an Eyra.

I ran one and so has Flyswatter. They are very good props however I dont think its worth the extra $$$. You will not see any significant speed gains although the prop does preform well in all aspects. A Bravo 1 XS 28p prop was the prop I enjoyed the most on my Eyra. It pushed the boat as fast and handled the boat better than a Fury, and didnt cost $8-900 dollars. I had a Merc and Flyswatter ran a SHO. Unless you intend to race I dont see the value of it, but they are very good props. IMHO Hope this helps.

BrianYea, I have. Very expensive prop but they will work with you till you are satisfied. The wheel takes lots of Chine out at WOT for those who dont want to fight the wheel. To me a noticeable positive for Hydromotive prop (Quad IV X OB/ SST). I wasnt patient enough to keep it long enought to truly dial it in. Also, I was in transition selling my 200 SHO and bumping up to the 250SHO, another reason for me returning the prop for 90% of the original value. At WOT it was about 1mph slower then Fury not much more. Where I missed the boat with that wheel is Hydromotives strong convictions that it would carry the load better thus being faster then my Fury. If I had to do it all over again I would have kept the wheel longer if I didnt swap out motors. What a crazy time period. There is potential for that prop. Nice thing with Hyd. prop company if you dont like it you can return it. From my experience you are paying more of a prop company to be active in the support till you find the right wheel for your boat. Theres something to be said for that type of prop support. Also, no need to B&B the wheel. It comes that way.I didnt see whole lot of difference with the hydromotive wheel vs fury coming out of the whole on my SHO. Both were lightening quick.

Did you go pitch for pitch, or did you have to go up an inch.BrianBrianHAWG Hunter2013 BassCat Eyra2013 Mercury 250 Pro XS Gen2 L/U
