Finally pulled the plug and decided on an upgrade to go with my new HSE. Instead of an internal upgrade I'm going with a new prop. Decided after a year, many reviews of the prop test results and after speaking with acme directly today I've decided on trying the Acme 1161. I currently have the OJ 466 which has been fine ,I'm just hoping to get a little increase in top end and better cruising speeds. The 21V already puts out a massive wake without ballast and we don't do a huge amount of boarding, so I don't see a need to ballast the boat for boarding.
Anyways ,the fellow I talked with at ACME (forgot his name) was awesome and confirmed what I had been thinking. And wow, is this guy passionate about props.....all the info i wanted.
I will update on the different characteristics I see between the props when I get it.
