We have a 1999 Moomba Mobius with 5.7L Carburated Indmar direct drive. In a local public landing this morning we hit something that bent two blades on this prop. So I am looking for a replacement. My local ski shops have them but can't get to mu for a week. If I had a puller I could pull it and get to a prop shop in a day. That will be my plan.

Problem: General comments regarding prop replacement suggest that you should replace the prop with what is on there from the boat mfr. In this case an OJ Legend 13x13 cupped NiBrAl.

My local prop guy tells me I should replace it with an ACME. First question is do we think this will have any adverse effects? Second, is it really worth the extra money??

TIA
Dave
