Don, youre right- the 176 should pull any given prop more revs (at WOT) than a Ski Nautique of comparable power. The hull is smaller and lighter, and thus, faster. I would expect you'll see the best performance if you can prop the boat to turn right around 4600. If youre above that, then the 14x16 Federal should push you in the right direction. In theory, it may speed you up. Tough to be sure though, as the prop designs (Acme and OJ) are quite different.
If it turns out that youre over-reving with the 422, and if the budget were to allow for a new prop, then it would be interesting to try the Acme 1490 (13.5x15.5) or 1492 (13.5x16) on it as well. |

Thanks for your help. Once it's back in the water, I make do more analysis. It sure would be great to try a couple of different props without the bite of $200-$350 each.

Bump... all props are still available, with the exception of the little OJ (which I am keeping as a non-functional decoration). Let me know if theres interest soon, else they will go to ebay. Thanks!

The 12x14 originally listed in this thread has been sold. I may have another one on my Mustang 17 parts boat, so if you need one, please email me and I will check.

Yes, some of them might be appropriate for a Ski Tique. The list of available props in the first post is up to date. Which engine do you have?

Is this for a southwind? What year/size/power train?
The list of available props in the first post is current. No 12x13's but one believed to be a 13x12... Which may be what you're looking for anyways. |

Yes, the prop would be for a southwind 18. You're right, it is a 13x12. Just looking for a spare while I get the other one reconditioned.

Update: the first post in this thread is current. Just a 12x13 Federal and the 14x16 SS OJ left at this point.
Ive got a few Acme's to try this summer on the '90 and BFN, after which Im sure I will trim the collection again... so this thread will be updated when I have more available. |

How are you able to test all these props? Do you know a prop dealer to let you test?

Many were purchased, some were borrowed (usually from Reid). Acme and OJ have both sent me props to try as well.

So do you think if I give ACME a call they well let me test a few. I've heard great things about the 540-542. I want to go a little faster so I think I want to get the 540? What do you think

I believe both Acme and Delta both have a grace period where you can return a prop for credit if you dont like the way it runs. Either may be open to letting you try both at once (probably bill you for both up front and let you return the one you dont keep). Delta will be significantly cheaper though, as Acme's policy dictates that they charge customers full retail price in order to protect their dealer network.
I would just get the 540 and be done with it, though. Its pretty well documented that is the best prop for your boat. |

Update: The last remaining 12x13 Federal is going on our newly-acquired '70 Mustang and is no longer for sale. Up on the trading block is the new-ish 13x13 OJ that came on the boat! The first post in this thread is current... pictures of the 13x13 coming soon.
If interested, email me: TRBenj@gmail.com |
