12.5 x 13 prop question

I currently have the stock 13x17 on the boat.. found a 12.5 x 13 I could buy as a back up. I don't plan on adding a lot of weight if any above stock on the 04 x2. But noticed that oj recommends this prop for a 1-1 trans and I'm pretty sure mine is a 1.5-1 . Any insight would be appreciated. I just don't want to get caught dead in the water by a propstrike. But I don't want to hurt the boat either. Thanks

It would have to be very very cheap.
Your hole shot would be good when you loaded a ton or two of extra weight but you top speed would be 2/3 of what it is now. It's not perfect but if you watch the RPM it would not wreck anything. Make sure it is for your shaft.

Did not know they were made so small.

That sounds like a prop for an old Nautique. Or did Mastercraft also use 1-1 trans? I have an 86 2001 and it has a 1-1.

It is a splined shaft and prop.. but like art stated I was afraid it would be too low geared.. also agree that it would have to be real cheap and only as a backup weekend saver. Thanks guys
