Prop suggestions for 08 X2

Hit something in the delta last weekend and slightly bent the tips of all 4 prop blades so I guess its time for a new one. I am going to add the fly high setup so I figure Ill be running about 2000lbs of ballast. What Acme prop would you recommend?

What was the size of the prop that was crashed?

Acme 1479 is my recommendation after testing several props.

We offer the 14.75 X 15.5 - 14.25 X 14.5 or 14.25 X 14. These props tested best at the MC factory under various ballast loads.

^^^^^ How do you know which ones suit your needs the best? I have just put a fly high kit in my boat and will eventually upgrade the prop and am curious how I would decide which one out of the 3 I should use.

I have a 2006 X-2 w/MCX and typically run with quite a few people in the boat, often times with the Fly-High kit full. I contacted Eric @ OJ and he recommended the 14.75 x 15.5 XMP Edge. After about 30 hours with the new prop I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this upgrade! The boat pulls much harder out of the hole and through mid range. The boat only lost about 1mph top end. Contact Eric @ ejojprop@aol.com he is great to work with.

What size is the stock prop on the 08-09 X2?

ejojprop 09-30-2009, 3:39 AM

With the MCX it would have been our 14.25 X 14.5.

You shouldn't need a new prop if you only slightly bent the blades, unless you really want a new one. I had mine fixed for $75 including shipping back from a shop in Minneapolis. My suggestion is to get the bent one fixed as a spare if you get a new one.

Jason, yeah Im gonna get the bent one fixed and have it for a spare. I figured since Im adding the fly high kit to the boat I would need a little extra holeshot power so it was just dumb luck timing I bent the stock one. Ordered the new prop yesterday.
