    Default 15x13 or 15x12 Prop

    I currently run the OJ 945 which is a 15x13. Would I gain much by getting a 15x12 prop. I run a lot of weight and noticed my RPMs running pretty high. Thought this might help. Plus I haven't spent much money on the boat this year.

    15x12 you will run higher RPMs. I run a ACME 2313 which is a 15 x 12 but with .150 cup to keep the RPMs down some at higher speeds. Switching from a 15 x 13 to a 15 x 12 will get you more torque and low end power and sacrifice top end speed.

    When weighted down and surfing what rpms is everyone else turning

    You will likely run lower rpms surfing though, because the engine doesn't have to work as hard and the prop isn't "slipping" as much.

    Depends on the size crew on board. At 11.2 I'm between 3300 and 3600 rpm.

    That’s what I am running. Just didn’t know if the 13 to 12 pitch would make that much of a difference.

    I tried both, preferred the 15x12. Engine didn't seem to work as hard at a given rpm.

    That's pretty high. What prop do you have?
