The 1248 is a new prop I haven't seen or used yet. I don't remember exactly what the specs on the 536 are and ACME doesn't list it anymore. I think 13.25 17.0 0.150 cup 4 blade. The added diameter will help some with lower end, but I'm not real sure what it will do on the top. ACME will allow you to test different props. You have to purchase them, but can swap for something else if needed to get the right fit. Might be something to look into.
I still swear by the 1464 or 1578 as they now call it if running 2000+ lbs. I've been wanting to try out the 2406 (13.5 14.5 0.060 cup 5 blade) and the 1846 (14.0 14.25 0.150 cup 4 blade). I want to try a 5 blade just to see if they are worth some of the hype they get, but really think a 14.0 prop is where it's at... IF I can swing such a big prop. I don't know if there is enough clearence between the prop and hull without causing hull burn issues like others have seen on the '08+ models.
