**Wesjxxx** · 05-28-2014, 08:40 AM

had a good prop strike and went ahead and rebuilt strut myself and got a new prop...
its an oj 14.25x14.5......my old one was a 14x18

will I notice a big dif wakeboarding? and I wanna try surfing with this boat.....hope this prop helps

was fine with few people in boat with no ballast but it really bogged with bags loaded

You will be happy with the performance of the new prop. The increase in diameter will help but the pitch change will greatly improve your hole shot.

I would suggest you buy ACME if you go new. Maybe just me though.

Would have rather had the acme...read reviews..... but I just didn't have the extra cash...had to rebuild strut myself. I'm a poor man with a cool boat

The OJ will work well for you.

Agreed. That will be a noticeable upgrade, especially when weighted.

I was a few years ago. Sold my jeep about 6 years ago but I have the itch again.
