I have the growl as well on my '07 LSV with the wakeboard prop and at times it's extremely aggravating! If i'm in the no wake zone or just cruising slowly it growls away and gets on my nerves something fierce!

I can cut the diameter down to help reduce the noise.

What does that cost us? How does that affect the performance of the prop? IMO this should have been addressed by SC.

The reason why you are getting a vibration has to do with the waters ability to move past the hull and prop. For whatever reason the water is unable to move past the prop correctly and is creating tiny air bubbles causing cavitation, which is the vibration that is being caused. The prop is actually being pushed axially.
The reason why changing the size either larger or smaller takes away the vibration is because you changed the characteristics of how the water is passing by the hull and the prop. If Acme or any other prop manufacture had a prop that was identical size, pitch, cup, and weight as the OJ then you would still have the vibration. No matter the manufacturer of the boat or prop this kind of vibration could occur.
I would like to see how the new OJ prop does compare to the 1235.Nate

You Da Man, did you have to get trailer bunk shims to fit the 1235 on your XLV? I have 2005 XLV and I contacted acme through email and explained to them my situation and they recomended the 1433. I didn't get a chance to ask why but I am assuming it had to do with clearance issues involving the height ot the trailer bunks.
