Calling on those that have prop experience.
I have been through this with my last crossover boat and am about to look at a new prop for my current boat. I hate prop shopping as I feel so out of my depth on this stuff.
I currently run a acme 537 which is 13.5" DIA x 16" Pitch. I want to stay with the Acme brand and My boat is a 07 220SAN.
Reason for upgrade is we are running extra sacs for surfing now and if we want to relocate our surf spot, we can't get on the plane to do so.
Here's the next issue. My current top end is 40mph and I don't want to lose any off this as we would not be able to foot.
I have herd that there are "tractor' props out there that offer better hole shot with out sacrificing top end. Is this true or am I asking too much?
One option that I was considering is a Acme 1579 (13.5" Dia x 14.25" pitch) but not sure if my top end would suffer. Pretty sure that the Acme 1235 (14.5" Dia x 14.25" Pitch) would kill my top end too much.
I have been on wakeprops.com but looking for some real life experience input/knowledge.
Cheers
