13x13 OJ 3-blade for sale!

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

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

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

Update: the first post in this thread is current. I tested a 12x13 Federal this weekend and included the performance data.

Please see the updated pricing on the 14x16 Stainless OJ as well.

Any questions, please email me: TRBenj@gmail.com

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.

Do you still have any of the 12x13x1 props? looking for a spare. 304.288.6191

i have a ford 302

can these be used on a 77 ski tique and do you still have them?

Ronn, I just replied to your email!

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!

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.

Don, I dont really know. It depends on the application, I suppose. I couldnt pull the 14x16 OJ as many revs as the Acmes, which kept me below my power peak... so it slowed me down. If you need to dial back the RPM's a touch in order to hit the sweet spot, it may work better for you. How many revs are you pulling the 422 now?

FYI, I have someone else interested in the prop, but we're working through overseas shipping logistics.

Not sure what you mean by "salt lake" in CT... you mean down by the shore?

Ahh, gotcha.

Let me know if you can use the 14x16. I will soon be out of the fold until next week (SJRR trip), so I may be slow to respond. Feel free to email though.

Remind me, where abouts you are in MA?
