I wrecked my prop pretty good at Oroville a week ago. So I picked up the Acme 857 (13.25 x 15.5 vs. stock which is 14 x 20) which wakeside.com recommends (not the exact reason I got it). Took the boat out for the first time with the new prop and fully weighted, 2500+ lbs of ballast, the boat is running 3700 rpms at 23.5 mph. So my question is, is this expectable or should I get another prop? It seems as though this is going to ruin our gph, although the boat rockets out of the hole, so is this just the price we will pay?
