    This is a good point. I had the stock 13x13 prop on my sunsport, and would load up 1800lb-2200lb regularly to surf. Even with the 454 it worked to pull all that weight, and took a long time to plane out if we were just cruising while weighted down. I switched to an ACME 541 and the boat literally jumps out of the hole now, weighted or not. Props make a HUGE difference.
