Acme 1235

after a winters research we decided on going with the 1235 to upgrade from our stock prop on our 07 Moomba LSV because our stock prop sucks. We have a 325hp engine but with 2000lbs it boggs down on startup and we want to run 3k so how big of a change with the new prop be? I'm too anxious to wait and find out myself haha, I know we'll loose top end but thats not what I care about. I'm just wondering if it will make a big enough change to basically lift an extra 1300lbs..

I run the acme 1235 on our 2001 MC X-Star which has 330hp and with that acme prop and probably around 2 to 3500lbs of weight it feels like we have around 500hp. You will notice a huge difference in hole shot and all out power. I know Jay and Nintzel both run this prop on their boats with 5000lbs and have no problems. Top end was not a big deal to us, but I believe that we still can get close to 40mph with all ballast empty. You will LOVE this prop.

1235 works fine,a buddy of mine had one on his 2006 lsv .
1200 kilo of wieght and no problems getting out of the hole ,the 1235 is also much quiter >

I run the 1236 on my SAN which is the same prop I believe but right hand rotation. It will be the best and most noticeable upgrade you can do to your boat. With 3000lbs in my boat it gets on plane almost the same as the stock prop with no weight. It will definately take your top end down but who cares in a wake boat, I like cruising at 25mph across the lake anyway!!!

Do it, you won't be dissapointed. As long as you don't sink your boat, that prop will push anything.

thats exactly what I was hoping to hear haha. I just got done ordering it and it should be here by next friday so I will give it a test then. Also is it fully necessary to use a prop puller to switch out props or is there some easier way then buying the tool. We plan to switch out the props for one trip each year when we go to don pedro because we have to cross lake multiple times a day and the 1235 wouldn't work too well for that haha. Also it wouldn't be cost-effective to rent the tool twice a year either....
