This ACME 2133 is going on the PN boat today!

EDIT:
Adding the test results from Page 4 of this thread.
I have tested the 1579, 1617 and 2133 props from ACME on the 2012 Super Air Nautique 210 Team Edition with the Excalibur 343 engine. All work well with no ballast and stock ballast. I found that the 1617 significantly improved holeshot with all levels of ballast, without losing significant top-end speed. In my tests, it was easily the best performing propeller.
I really wanted the 2133 five-blade to work well, but it just did not perform as well as the 1617. The 2133 is slightly better than stock, but I found it NOT to be worth the significant cost of the propeller. Also, the 2133 significantly reduces top-end speed. I ran the 2133 for three days, pulling wakeboarders, water skiers, and surfers. The 2133 was super-smooth, and the surf wake was about the same as the 1579. As you increase above 3,800 RPM, the 2133 is quite noisy.
I only ran the 1617 for one day, but will be switching back to that prop now. The wake was the same shape as stock, and the prop was not louder than the 1579.
