Acme 1248 Prop on 2002 SAN GT40?

[h2ohangtime]

Just talked to Bill @ Acme and told him that I just found a ding on my prop (Acme 380) and thought it might be a good time to pick up a new one and make the 380 a spare. Here are the specs I gave him:

Wakeboard ~ 60%
Surf ~ 20%
Cruise ~ 15%
Tube/Ski ~ 5%

I usually have 4 or 5 people in the boat and (eventually) will run about 1600 lbs of ballast (1k in the rear, 600 in the bow). I was also concerned about losing too much top-end and killing my fuel economy.

He suggested a new prop that Acme is now manufacturing called the 1248. He said it's the same spec as the 536, but runs better. The second choice for me would be a 1236 and the third (most aggressive) choice would be the 1464.

Has anyone used the new 1248 yet? I know the 536 was the stock prop on SANTE's, but I can't seem to find ANY info about the 1248, not even on Acme's site.

I also have an old hull SANTE (04 w/ ZR6) and am in need of a new prop as well. I have noticed that all the props that Bill from ACME recommended to you are on my possibilites list in the same order as yours. I was wondering what prop you ended up getting? Do you reccommend it to others doin very similiar percentages of activities as yourself?
