Which prop for LSV?

[LopinLH]

I'm just wondering what props other LSV owners are running? It is my understanding that SC recommends the acme 537 prop for the LSV due to a "prop hum" created if the prop on the LSV exceeds a certain diameter. I am currently using the acme 537 and my concern is hole shot, which I think could be better. My hole shot is only an issue when ballast is full (I only have stock ballast). I also have the 409 engine, so I am pretty surprised that the boat is working like it is to get on plane with full ballast. The boat seems to run great once out of the hole. Maybe I'm just overthinking this one, but any prop suggestions would be appreciated. Also curios to here what others with lsv hull are using. Thanks.

I run the 1617 and love it, although I run more than the stock ballast.

Im running a acme 1273 which is a 14.5x14.25p .150 cup prop with ibs amd upgraded 1100 lockers on my 2014 lsv. The boat came new with 537 on it and it made a big difference. We still run 39.8 by gps on top end . Couldnt be happier. We mainly surf and have the 330 assault engine.

Thanks for the responses has anybody with a larger diameter (14") prop experienced a prop hum? I'm not sure if I'm willing to tolerate that.

I only had hum with my stock OJ. This is much quieter, and no vibrations like the OJ.

I was at the dealer yesterday and tried out the 1235. I loved the performance but did notice a slight hum. Probably nothing to worry about but I had them order a 1433, which has same pitch and cup, but is 14" vs 14.5".

Luke you are going to love it. How did you cruise hold after switching? Was it more stable?

Yeah cruise was more stable. Biggest difference was quicker out of the hole and boat ran at higher rpms

I've got the 1617 and love it too. Lots of extra ballast on our boat.

My understanding is ojs hum acmes dont. My 14.5 dia is like butter and as far as clearance issue's with the trailer the 1235 acme is a factory option prop if it fits the trailer it clears the 1235 is 14.5 also.
