Need suggestions on which prop for heavy Max

I would give Eric at OJ props a call to see what he recommends. He may even be able to make you a custom prop.

I have the acme 2315 with 5000lbs, call nettles they can recommend the perfect prop. I think my max speed is around 30-31mph, I can get on plane with full ballast..

Would 12 make it higher rpm or lower?

I came from an oj 945, my rpms are lower.

Resurrecting this from the dead... but after reading the log story thinking I should get a spare prop to have handy and for karma sake.

Anybody else try the 2315? It being basically the 2419 with more cup it should have a better top end, but parrothd in his/her Craz stating only 30/31mph top speed is much lower than I anticipated. I am currently using the stock OJ 945 15/13 prop and it works pretty well. 5200lbs of ballast and surfing at 11.4mph and my rpms are at 3600. Top speed 37-38 if smooth. Also, with ~ 4000-4500lbs ballast I am still able to get on plane if necessary.

So...just get an OJ 945 as back up, right?! It does seem to work well for me.... but I like to dabble... and if the 2315 can provide the ability to plane with full ballast and I sacrifice only a couple MPH (say 34-36mph) then I would be interested in trying it out. My wife hates cruising fast... loud and when choppy not great for infants obviously, so often we cruise at 25-27mph at about 4000rpm.

If the 945 works well, maybe get the updated 950, it's a 15x13 with more cup from OJ

More cup would worsen low speed power in exchange for more top end correct?
