If you're just free skiing and not worried about training for course skiing, try different line lengths (shorter). Depending on what speed you ski you may find 28-32 off will put you in front of that nasty 2001 rooster tail.

I'm afraid if you're used to the wake of that Falcon the only way you'll come close to that with a CC is something well into the'90s. Deal with it.

Our resident prop expert might be busy this weekend but I'm sure he'd tell you no. A modern 3 blade will out perform a 4 blade on a DD boat.

It might reduce it very minimally but unless you're Andy Mapple I don't think you'll notice it much. Wake and rooster is 85% determined by hull design and 14.9% weight distribution. I noticed an ever so slight improvement on my 76 rooster with a 540, like the remaining .1%

I just bought an acme 540 and I like it however I'm wondering if running a 4 blade will reduce the center bump or soften the wake overall?
