Acme 2079 14.5x12

[jsta281]

Any of you fine folks running this prop or have experience with it? I would love to hear comments. The boat currently had 14.25x14 and really struggled at high altitude with boat loaded with ballast/people.

What boat is it on and what is the elevation?

It's being considered for a launch 22SSV 2008 with the 340 hp motor elevation 4200 and up.

It currently has the 14.25x14 OJ and at 6000 ft with full ballast and full of people the boat really struggled to plane or hold speed.

The Nautique guys running lots of weight seem to like it.

suggest you talk directly with ski dim or Nettles Props
both great outfits and will be able to dial in the right prop for you.

I spoke with acme it is what they suggested I'm just surprised not more people on here have run it, I have been reading quite a bit about it from a number of sources and it seems that most who run lots of ballast over stock or stock ballast with lots if people love it. Her is a review from a planet Nautique

"Triple the move to the 2079 on my 08 230. You lose some top end but really makes a difference for our targeted uses which are wakeboarding and surfing with ballast. Have the 343 and really wakes up the engine on the bottom end. Also think it helps with 5 mph maneuverability in tight places."

I'm at 8100ft at steamboat lake colorado, where are you at?
I would talk to nettles, they may have another suggestion for you. My boat is a different set up than yours so i have no advice on the prop.
