| Propco Prop Efficiency Gains Has anyone worked with the new Propco Slingshot props? They are designed by Peter Dean and he has a pretty good reputation. I do not know enough about them to make a determination. But they swear they will give you a 40% gain in gas mileage over a cupped prop design. This sounds a little far fetched. Anyone know if this is for real? Thanks, Jerry  |

| No I dont, sounds interesting, like to know more. His web site doesnt have the hyper link on 'slingshot'? Last time i spoke to Peter has was OEM ing some props for Merc. As an accomplished racer he knows what he is talking about. 40% doesnt sound right (He had the Propco business in Melb OZ before he moved to the states thats how I met him.)
