Both boats are 1600HP, running at 1400RPM. Find out below why one is pushing the other like an empty barge.
Boats equipped with the Edge exhibit substantial gains in the following areas:
•
More Thrust
•
Less Vibration
•
Increased Fuel Efficiency
•
Less Cavitation
•
Greater Return On Investment
•
Less Noise
• More Thrust • Less Vibration • Increased Fuel Efficiency • Less Cavitation • Greater Return On Investment • Less Noise
Watch one boat dominate the other.
The Edge propeller produces more thrust and less noise and vibration than traditional work boat propellers. The ‘winglet’ feature at the edge of the blade is part of the patented design that allows for greater loading at the outer radii of the blades while reducing harmful cavitation.
Edge-equipped boats handle and maneuver better, with quicker response times, greater crew comfort and added efficiency that reduces fuel consumption. Simply put, these props behave like propellers with a much larger diameter, which means more thrust! For the same horsepower you can burn less fuel, push a larger load or get there quicker. And you can do all this with a happier captain and crew.
One of the first test platforms for the Edge was a truckable tug. We recorded performance data such as thrust, speed and crash stop times with the original WorkWheels (Gawn-Burrill style). Then the boat was hauled and fitted with a pair of Edge propellers and the data was gathered again. The results were staggering.
