Thought I might as well ask here to see if anyone has a "spare" 540?
Does OJ make an equivalent? |

Hopefully Zach can help you out... but dont get your hopes up *too* much. IIRC, Delta's price (with the CCF discount and free shipping) is basically line on line with most dealers' cost. Add in Delta's liberal return policy and they can be pretty hard to beat. Ive had dealers try and do me favors and match Delta's pricing, and they simply cant do it.

Tim,
Somehow, momma doesnt see this in the necessity column like I do. Just starting to look early, been saving some coins up. Hopefully ready to pull the trigger on a deal somewhere. ... 9 degrees this morning...no urgency. btw, I've probably asked before, the 540 (13x12) over a 430 (13x13)? I know they arent the same, but I think the 73 is running a 13-14 Federal. |

Yes, you want the 540. You need a much higher hp engine and/or a lot more cubic inches to turn a 430, generally speaking. Not sure why some CC's shipped with larger props (my Skier came with a 12x15 instead of the typical 12x14, just like your boat would normally have come with a 13x13) but the smaller wheel (13x13 or equivalent like the 540) will improve performance in every way.
And I hear you on cost... new props arent cheap! The 540 is worth the money though... and if Zach can do as good or a touch better than Delta (~$345 with the discount last I checked) then youre doing great. |

Zachy, the code is located on the Links page and is 20%. A 540 comes in at $345.16 and free shipping.
 Is N3 an official site sponsor like Delta yet? They should be! |

I lied I thought there were 2 540's up stairs but there was one.
 If he doesn't want to swing it right now you can have it. Since I got your hopes up I will match Delta's price with shipping on a fresh 540. |

In reality Tim. If I worked with delta and aquired a dealer price code I almost bet I could buy props cheaper via Delta than Acme direct.

It's saved for either of you two as far as I'm concerned. I'm out for the evening Ill try to check up on you guys on that there smart phone I have!
Fyi any time everyone on here wants something I'm completely open to group buys. If everyone does an impeller service in the spring Hell let's do a group buy! Anything anyone can come up with. (Besides Acme products  )

Steve, Have you tried on your Ellis ?
Mine runs faster than Federals, and I don't have to worry about it being knarled by little sticks. |

Al,
The Ellis is what I've been running all summer. The 73 had a Federal 13x14 Super Cup when I bought it, but only ran it on the maiden voyage. She would just touch 49-50 on both speedos. (no gps) The trailer that the boat came with is for a newer/wider inboard. When I loaded the boat on the trailer the first time, somehow the boat dropped off one of the bunks and I bent the prop on the guard. I put the Ellis on and lost 2-3 mph on the top. The prop is not bad, but not perfect.. the boat has a bit of a viberation in the upper range. The bad thing is ,I have never run a tach (didnt work when I bought the 73 and I sent it out for repair.... 5 months ago, but thats another story: ,)so I dont know where I'm taching out at WOT. What prop are you running on your 74? |
