    Acme 1235 prop is on, now I have to wait about 6 weeks for it to be warm enough to go out!
    Will post some comments/thoughts once it's been for a run.

    Went out last Wednesday with the fam and tried the Acme 1235 prop for the first time, rather interesting.
    At idle it seems to have made the boat travel forwards a little faster which was completely un-expected. The rudder authority was better here as well.
    Take off from a dead stop was snappier and if the throttle was pushed further forward while getting up on plane the boat responded better, top end was almost the same, maybe lost 2mph but it depends a little on wind and water conditions. Will have a better idea after a season of using it, while surfing it seemed better hooked in than the OJ.
    One thing that will take a bit of adjustment on my part is to not let off the go gas quite so suddenly as previous, the lager surface area of the prop makes it act like a big brake. Anyway just some observations, not massive changes, all subtle.
    Supposed to snow today so no playing on the lake, was 28degC last Wed....Spring weather!
