Acme 1941 vs 1235

[nautiques4life]

2012 SANTE 230 w/330, 1100's in rear, center, and bow 600.

I know one is recommended for wakeboarding vs the other general boating, any of you have any experience with either. I think I currently have a 1235, but do as much if not more driving around the lake 'cause the ride spot is so far away. I'd say my engine hours are 70% motorboating and 30% riding. Interested in how each would effect RPMs, topspeed, fuel costs, and hole shot with ballast.

Finding the "right prop" is a little art + science. Most will agree that the correct prop will allow the engine to run at recommended maximum intermittent RPMs at W-O-T (wide open throttle). This assumes a lightly-loaded boat and no ballast. That is a good place to start and will likely be your general boating propeller. If you want a little more hole-shot or run with full ballast and a boat full of people, you may want to go down in pitch. On my SN, 1" in pitch equals approximately 400 RPMs.

Based on the propellers you asked about in your post, the 1235 looks like the wakeboard prop. What is your W-O-T with the current prop?

Good info thank you Jonny, hopefully I'll make it out this weekend and be able to give you a better idea on my RPMs
