Prop question

Guys this is very helpful thanks. I don’t care at all about speed just want the best prop for surf.

What prop are you running now?

I have an oj surf prop on my mondo. Will get you numbers off it this evening.

Helix is 20ft so really you do not need to be over the top.

ACME 1235 came on my MOJO and worked great until with upgraded bags, lead, etc. Once I put 11 people in the boat, it needed a little more grunt.

I suspect it would work great for your Helix considering you are 20ft and won't have as many people.
ACME 1235 - 14.5 x 14.25
I currently have a OJ945 - 15 x 13 <-- not sure you would need to be this aggressive.

Pretty sure a 19 helix is a 400/1.76, guessing current prop is at least a 15.5 x XX

The prop that came with the boat, it’s a Nibral OJ 14.25x14.5 four blade.

Go with a new WakePro V4 prop OJ 1951-MF - 15" x 14" pitch.

Keep your RPM's down, moves weight, and still keep your speed.

19s were still the 1.5 gear ratio, unless late year Supra 450s.

ACME 1235 or OJ 945 would be great on your Helix

Interesting comment on Nettles. Used them years ago on my 2007 Supra, sent them a pic and called them on the phone. They quoted me a new prop price (cheapest I found) and the repair price. It was the same ACME model prop.

Worked out good for me. Sent me the new one, I used the box and shipped the bent one to them, they send it back all repaired with a T-shirt, extra nut and pins.

Since I'm in Knoxville, I would use OJ anymore.

Shipped to them, $20, they quoted me $360 to fix a small ding on two blades then took $50 off, $310 shipped back. So minus shipping it was $290 to repair.

Local repair next time.
