    Thanks for the compliments guys. I would feel a lot better about it if it didn't have a bent prop blade right now. Any of you know where I can get a 13xanything 3-blade LH 1" bore prop in a hurry? I would really like to be able to drive and pick one up either tomorrow or Saturday. I live in Northern Illinois. If you don't know of one in driving distance.. know of any good deals. I would ideally like to get a 13x11or11.5

    Easy fix for a prop shop, and in my experience, far less money than new.

    Call any local boat dealer and they either fix props or know who does. They need to be inboard certified by ACME or OJ.

    You should be able to drive it with a bent blade no problem, as long as the vibration isn't terrible. For a used one, try ski-it-again.com or call JT at nettleprops.com they may have a used one in stock.

    You have the 1:1 VelvetDrive transmission, right? Should be stamped on the trans or maybe engine. If so, and you are going to be surfing/wakeboarding, no skiing, you should aim for the ACME#913 13x10.5. It will raise your RPMS into the motor's powerband and reduce the stress on the engine. If you are still wanting to slalom or barefoot but also wakeboard and occasionally surf, try the 13x11.5. For those who really love both I would humbly recommend two props.

    Yeah the vibration is pretty horrible, lol.

    But, today I'll be heading to the Quad Cities where we have friends who own a boat dealership and I think they'll have a prop. I don't have a whole lot of time to waste because I had big plans this coming weekend and next week to put a whole lot of hours on the boat so I'd like to get one as soon as possible and I'm not going to be too picky about which pitch I end up with. The 13x13 worked just fine, but ideally I would want the 13x11.5 because I do both wakeboarding and slaloming.
