I've got a 2000 Super Air Nautique and run about 2500-3000 plus pounds of additional weight. The boat has long struggled to plane off pretty quickly and the cruise control has also, at times, struggled to hold good speed.
So, after speaking with ACME, I decided to upgrade to what they suggested and got a 2570. NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE! The boat holds speed better but especially planes off much much faster.
However, it does seem though that the size of the week, with the new bigger prop, is a little bit smaller and does not have quite the same "kick" to it. Maybe it's just all in my head and everything is the same except what I stated about holding speed and planing off better.
Has anyone experienced a smaller wake in changing props?
