I went from a 14 x 18 to a 13.5 x 16 acme and its great. I have a 325 hp monsoon and about 2200 lbs of water weight plus a wedge. The boat has plenty of hole shot. I don't think I would drop down that low to a 11.5, but I don't know the whole story. The 11.5 means it suppose to travel 11.5 inches per one turn.

Of course we are all assuming you have a V drive or DD <BR> <BR>This totaly depends on the engine the hull and how the boat will be used. <BR> <BR>Engine HP <BR>Trany 1 to 1 or gear reduction <BR>Boat brand and model <BR>Do you need top end <BR>will you be using a lot of weight <BR>etc <BR> <BR>Call Acme <a href="http://www.acmemarine.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.acmemarine.com/index.html</a> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by krbaugh on May 18, 2005)
