OK, so I took my boat out this past weekend, and while backing into the shore, I managed to "nick" two of the 4 blades on my prop. Totally fixable, but still, something I need to get fixed. I called a local prop guy in Ventura, Valley prop I think, and he was talking about mabe getting a different propeller.
I currently have a 2007 212V ski Supreme. I run both rear ballast tanks (760 lbs total) and about 6-8 people in the boat. I sometimes add 200-300 lbs in the bow as well. I told him this, and he said I might burn the valves on my engine? due to the ammount of weight with a stock prop. So, I'm thinking on buying a new prop, that better suits my setup, and having my stock prop repaired for a backup.
My question, is, what prop should I be buying? We surf and wakeboard, and the above mentioned is the usual ammount of people and ballast in my boat. My stock prop is a acme 275 13.5 X17.5V LH 11/8" . What would you guys reccomend I buy??? thanks for the expert advice as usual!
