when boarding inn my ,99 ski ill be using about 1500 lbs of baggage and it is much harder to hold speed/rpms with my current setup, a 13x16 OJ
in reading i find a 12.5x 15 , the acme 654 would be a good fit, anyone have any exp with this? I work next to a large prop shop, should i have my current prop worked or get a second ? seems like a lotta work to have to swap back and forth so trying to find a happy medium. |

Reworking the original to a different pitch would be a watse of money.
They are easy to swap, just takes time to lap them in. I think Delta will let you try out different props. Acme is the way to go! |

A puller is the way to go, males prop change a simple task

I LOVE our 654. With weight/pulling multiple skiers on our show ski team I found that the 654 is my favorite over 1442 and 422 on our boats. Fast, holds speed very well, powerful, smooth.

Didn't answer your question really either. Get the 654 and you'll be happy all around. Don't have that OJ reworked....IMO.
