What is you surf weight set up and do you know what your RPMs are at surf speed? I ask bc I am curious to see what will happen when I switch out to my ACME 2847. I expect my RPMs to bump up a little but not sure how much.

Thanks all. I’ve requested to change to the general use 16.5”, I think that will best serve my needs… if something need changed this will make a good spare

Boat is 5,300, ballast full at 4,000 , full tank and 10-12 adults and older teens. One cooler. No lead (yet anyway). Probably running about 11,500 average. My rpm's surfing are anywhere from 3200-3700 at times depending on speed. My lakes elevation is 237' above sea level.

I have the "Altitude/Wake" - OJ 15.5 x 15" on my 2021 Mojo. I run full ballast and 1k lead and surf speeds around 11 mph. RPMs rang from 3600-3800. Pulls great and doesn't struggle. This is with the Raptor 400.

Thanks for the info. The next time I am out I am going to run just me in the boat with full ballast and the 1k in lead to just get a base line on the OJ 15.5x16.5 with 450 and 1.76 trans then do the same when I put the ACME 2847 and see how it affects the RPMs.

Will be interesting to see the difference!

Pitch makes a huge amount of difference with this. 8 deg vs. 9/10/11 deg. It should be part of the conversation in my opinion, same as elevation, engine size, prop diameter/pitch. It you are running stock autowake pitch, I believe it's 8 or 8.5. The difference in rpms from running 8-10 deg pitch with +11k boat/ballast weight is probably close to 1k rpm. (That was my experience with it over this summer.)

That is a very true statement. Pitch will definitely affect your RPMs and is often never brought up in the prop/RPM conversation.

I will pile on here about pitch affecting RPM significantly. I think 9 degrees is plenty and 10 degrees is way too much as it really starts loading the engine exponentially.
