Looking for a good prop for surfing I only have 2500lbs of ballast and I have a 15x12.5 right now a 2775 I believe. Kinda sounds like overkill for not having a lot of weight. I’ve been looking at the acme 1433 but hearing good and bad things about it.

You could probably go to the ACME 1235 and be really happy, as well as a 15x13 or 15x14....if you decide to sell the 15x12.5, I could put it to use on my boat.

Thanks I’ll probably try and get it fixed and keep it as my spare!

Right on, I would get something bigger than the 1433..maybe find someone selling their stock OJ 14.25x14.5, but the ACME 1235 would perform very well on your boat.

I have my stock 14.5x14.25 that I would trade with you for your 15x12.5.

Let me know. Send me a PM.

Depends on your boat. Have you considered a 15.5” or 16” diameter prop? I don’t know your prop clearance, but going bigger could be the best of both worlds.
My 2775 works great on my SL, but too end sucks. I still want to go up in size.

I have the Acme 2247 (15.0x14.25) on my SL550 and I would love a recommendation to lower my surf rpms. Currently with 4 adults and 3 (9-12 year old kids) I turn 3500-3600 rpms with the addtional 850 lbs of lead I run. That 550 is thirsty so I would love to lower rpms so I burn less premium fuel. I could care less about top end, but currently with the Acme 2247 it will hit 44-45 mph with 7 people on board...I'll bet I could get close to 50 mph with just me in the boat on a smooth morning run.

You need the prop that they run the pro wake tour SA 550.

this. it has been my go to for several boats. woke my supra right up from the crappy OJ that was on it.....
both of my prior boats and current are running it.

The pro wake tour or the pro surf tour? What prop is it that they run? We don't long line at all anymore so just looking to turn lower rpms and save 93 octane fuel burn.
