New Props: BRP Rebel or Merc Enertia

[The Pig]

Has anyone had any experience of either the new Mercury Enertia or BRP Rebel props? All I have learnt from a Merc rep at a show is that the Enertia beocmes less effective as the pitch increases, so better suited to smaller boats. Anyone know of any comparative tests out there which bear out their 'it's like bolting on an extra 30 HP'?

I have a set of 19's on their way to me for a test. In talking to merc, some of this bears out as the props are light and thin - which increase the performance. The first prop is a 15P as this will allow verados better perfortmance on single engine boats in the 20-30 foot range - something that is lacking with their current prop lineup. The 19 and 21's should be out in may.

I ran a set of the BRP Rebel Props size 21 on twin 250 ETECs last fall. I had previously run several BRP Props both 3 and 4 bladed and the Rebel was the best by far for my application. You might be able to find the thread from a few months back discussing by searching on "REBEL"
