Prop Recommendations for 2013 LSV

[Jeepers]

Acme 2315 (15x12) all the way! I swapped an 1847 for the 2315 this last spring on my 08 LSV. 2700lbs of ballast planes instantly and surfs all day at 3000 rpms. It's the only prop I've tried that actually keeps the boat in the WOT rpm range with full ballast or empty. You will loose top end. I top out at 36-38mph.

Just make sure you have trailer clearance. It's easy to add spacers if you need to and completely worth it. I did not need to do anything to my trailer. I have plenty of hull clearance and could have even gone to a 15.5" diameter prop.

Just wanted to update my post as I just added 500lbs in the bow. 3200lbs and 6 adults and 3 kids and the 2315 planes in a second. Still surfing at 3000 rpms. Engine doesn't struggle at all.

Reading these posts makes me glad I went with the 2079! I flipped a coin as everyone seemed to say 1617 was the way to go (including wake makers), but pulled the trigger on the 2079 and it's been awesome. I couldn't get to plane with my stock 537 when fully loaded, but this prop gets me there easily, even when full of passengers as well.

Just switched from a 1433 to a 2315. Last year I had 750s in the rear and the 1433 worked great. Upgraded to 1100s this year and struggled when loaded (~3500lbs ballast and 7+ people) - when surfing, couldn't get above 3900 RPM at WOT. Switched to the 2315 and now I'm 3200-3300 RPM at 11mph. Can't comment on top speed unloaded yet. Still need to shim my trailer...

My top speed, wide empty is 36. But I'm on a small lake and not in any hurry.

I went with the 1617 and haven't had any complaints. 1100s in rear, stock center, 650 ibs and 400 lbs of steel in the front. Any boat with an uneven distribution ie too much rear weight will struggle getting on plane.

Unless you have the prop.

In addition, that 1617 is really just a 14x14 prop. It's not 13.75". $500 bucks for .25" of pitch.

I am glad you saved your money then!! Me and my money are happily parted. Nettles up in Austin has always been a trusted name and I was happy with their recommendation.

Thumbs up for Nettles. Matched online prices.

Just bought a 1433 for my 2007 Supra.
If that does not work, I can exchange for a 1617.

I also live in Canada in the Okanagan at about 380M elevation and just switched last to the Acme 2313 (15x12) Absolutely the best purchase for the boat in recent memory. Wife even noticed and greatly approved. If it was me I'd ensure the prop was at least a 15" variety. I did a WOT run and I'm still at 38mph and that's with wife, two kids and about 600lbs of lead.
