OK, it's about time for a new prop. I have a 4 blade now but I think it is a bit old. What prop will give me the best performance for skiing, wakeboarding and barefooting? I have the GT-40 and a tower. Thanks

Right now, Id have to say Acme 470. Its a 12.5x15 3-blade, and it outperforms the comparable Acme 4-blade (422) that is used by CC on all the direct drives. You will notice a nice difference coming from your older prop.
If you arent in a huge hurry, Ill be doing a prop comparison this spring that will include a bunch of Acmes and the OJ XMP's (428 and 498).

Ive ordered from both http://deltaprop.com/ - Delta Propellor and http://www.skidim.com/ - Discount Inboard Marine.
Delta will usually be cheaper (unless SkiDIM has a sale). We have a 5% discount code for Delta, and a 10% code for SkiDIM.
