Hey Guys, This is my first time on here. Thanks!!! I have a 78 Ski Tique with the Ford 302. I have a bad vibration while running and swapped the prop to find the vibration disappear--Great--easy fix. But before I dump money into prop repair--Do I have the correct prop??? The boat will be dual use wakeboard/ tubing and cruzin with the fam. The prop I have Is a Columbian Hydroflite D13 x P14R 3 blade nibril prop. Is this a good prop for my needs before I repair it? It was better out of the hole and top end than the beat up 4 blade I have on it now. Thanks again guys. ------------- 1978 Correct Craft Ski Tique--Ford 302 |

| Nope 13" diameter is too large for the Ski Tique hull. Original prop would have been a 12x14 Federal. More modern replacements would include the 12x13 and 12x14 OJ 3-blades, as well as the 1210 Acme (12.5x12 3-blade). The 1210 is the best performer of the bunch. |

I found a good deal on an Acme 1210, will I loose top end with the 12 pitch? ------------- 1978 Correct Craft Ski Tique--Ford 302 |

Not typically. I certainly wouldn't expect as much compared to the less-than-optimal 13x14 you had on there. Prop size (pitch diameter and cup) are not sufficient to compare props from different manufacturers. An Acme 1210 does not act anything like a 12x12 Federal... more like a 12x13 or slightly larger based on the wot rpm a 4bbl 302 in a 16' Correct Craft will pull them. Holeshot, midrange acceleration, smoothness, etc are all vastly different. |

so based off of my description of how I plan to use my boat with at least 2 large adults and 2 kids both cruzing and wakeboarding the acme 1210 would be the best choice? ------------- 1978 Correct Craft Ski Tique--Ford 302 |

I bought a prop last year,I think I got 5% off from them. Can't find the discount code on here either. They still were the cheapest around. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

| Delta's ACME buying power is undoubtedly strong and they seem to pass that on to the consumer. I have still not seen any retailers come close to their prices. |

Ok so I purchased the Acme 1210 and installed it the other day. OMG!!! This this thing is a rocket!!!! I am astounded in the increased performance over the 4 blade beat up OJ prop that I had on it. I seriously doubt you could hold onto a ski handle if I I punched it out of the hole. This thing is awesome. Thanks to TRBenj and everyone who pointed me in the right direction. ------------- 1978 Correct Craft Ski Tique--Ford 302 |
