-   -   Can I run this prop (http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558469)

I assume it would be ok.. but wanted the Gods of WW approval... Right now I am running the stock 13.5x17 on my 04 X2 .. looking for a backup and found a 14x20 .. Would there be any problems? FWIW.. I just run with stock ballast... mix of wakeboarding..kneeboard and pullin the boys on the tube... I assume I would lose some bottom end but wanted everyones input..

That would be a bad prop in my oppion unless you have a 8.1, which I doubt. Then again it depends on what you feel acceptible with. Most people with that boat and the rtp1 or mcx feel the 13.5x17 is to high of a pitch and go the other way. Some did run a 13.5 x 19 though and could give you more concrete info.

Boat has the mcx.. it would only be a backup because where I live it would be impossible to find a prop if I damaged it while out on the lake.. I can get it for 100$.. I know its not the perfect choice but was wondering if it would get me by in a bind.

Technically you can run that prop. <BR><font color="ff0000">BUT</font> I don't see yo being happy with it.

it would get you thru a weekend or an afternoon if you had to.

With the higher pitch it would lose bottom end and holeshot... but gain top mph right?

if the motor can spin it

Yeah a 20 pitch is way too high.

Thanks guys.... I will just keep looking... kinda hard to find a MC prop because they are splined. much less a good deal on one

there's an acme 537 floating around somewhere. it was cheap if i remember. good backup

for $100 you could always buy it and have it repitched. You should still be in it for less then $200 unless repitching costs a lot more than it used to.

that a lot of pitch to take out, but Its an option. i think you could find a better prop for the money.
