My 1235 definately comes out of the hole beter than the 5 Blade, but I'm hoping the overall performance will make up for it in Fuel consumption.

How much weight do you put in your boat. Is the 1235 is the High Altitude or the old core prop?? Just to be clear.

I knew there would be something better then the OJ 5 blade. I usually drive at wakeboard speeds. Never really oper her up. I think this is the prop I am going to go with. They have a 2313 that will add 1.5-2mph on top of the 2315; however, you lose a bit of the aggressive side of planing. He reported a 10ft difference in plane time. Both of these props consume more fuel at top speed than the HA prop. According to him the MXZ will be sold with a 2313 prop.

He also said they used a A22 for testing six props, reporting the OJ 5 blade was the worst.

One last thing he said, a boat manufaturer has made a different transmission. He would not say who. What he wants is a 1:1.75 or 1:2 ratio.

1235 is a high altitude prop.

Acme feels really good about the 15" props. I did hear about the 2313 but chose the low end over 1-2mph top end.

We are moving thru a number of the 2315s at boardstop.com.. Just have to make sure you have at least 1 inch between the bottom if the boat and trailer.

Tomorrow I am ordering the ACME 2313 prop for my boat. Specs are posted above. As I said the 2313 and 2315 are the top props now for running a slammed boat while keeping a moderate top speed. I chose the 2313 because the 1-2 mph more than the 2315. I drifted onto a stump a week ago and tried getting off and my 1235 prop slapped it. I am getting in straightened out also. Ill have to do a write up about it. Sorry boardstop for not going through you guys; however, I am fortunate enough to get ACME props at cost.

That's strange, my 1235 wouldn't plane with full everything and wedge but my 5 blade knocked it out in 10 seconds flat

Looking at the comparison. 20 seconds is a long time to plane off. My gets to wake speed in about 7 seconds with 3000+ and wedge. Wake is super clean too. I really just wanted to make sure that I didn't make the wrong purchase.



Lol. this is funny. I was waiting for someone to call BS on this. 7 Seconds to "wake speed" (riding speed???) with 3000+ and wedge, no way. That would give that prop a "planing" time of 2 -3 seconds with no ballast. My Core prop (way more aggressive than the acme HA 1235 and maybe similar in bottom end performance to the new 15" prop you have) took about 8 seconds to get to 23.5 with no ballast and 4 dudes. And 20 seconds really is not long to get to 23 mph fully loaded and run lower rpms, planing time would have been more around 14-16 seconds, but I did not record that meaningless number.



Gibster. Please do a comparison with stop watches on that prop and your current prop. We can start a new thread with prop comparisons only, no comments or replies, that would be really useful for us and new owners. I am curious to see real numbers on it. I think you have the 1235 HA acme right? If it performs the way mwilliams is claiming, which it won't, i will buy it tomorrow. But, If it performs better than the 1235 and OJ cinco, it will be my next prop for sure.

As for the 6 prop comparison done by Acme with acme props, of course they will say the cinco performed the worst. It is possible that it is true, but I don't believe such a general statement made by a company against another companies product(s). If the acme 1615 was in that comparison, then the cinco would not be the "worst" in top speed or smoothness or noise...

It is the High Alt. I run stock ballast + wedge+500lb sac bow+500lb sac on stadium seat. Usually 4 or 5 people in boat, but three of them are usually kids.

I will definitely do the write up John. We really need some good resources on here. As for a 7 second plane time... I would call BS on it to. Maybe that would happen with a empty boat.

As for my HA prop which is ACME 1235 (readers should know this by now) it performs well with stock ballast. I can honestly say very well. The hole shot is amazing, again with stock ballast. The other day I went out to watch the fireworks in Norfolk, VA and we did some shredding beforehand. I had 13 adults in the boat. Three females were in the front that weighed about 110 to 115 a piece. I then had the other 8 in the rear. There were 4 girls weight ranging about 115-120. The five guys, three of us were about 180-190 and the two others were about 145-150. We then had the rear factory ballast full and a small amount in the belly. I would say the boat had about 2k in it total. There was not a lot of struggle on the prop. Plane time was probably four seconds longer then riding full factory ballast and a few people. I did not fill the belly up completely because the females in the front began to freak out every time we came off of plane.

What many do not realize is the HA 1235 prop was made to perform amazing at High Altitudes with 2-3k weight in the boat between ballast and gear. Anything above the the HA prop will struggle.

As for the Cinco vs the HA prop, I have my boat with the HA and Dustin which has the five blade. He had about 41 mph on boat speedo. Never GPS'd it. I run about 39 mph with my HA prop. I would not say there is much of a difference between the two props however the HA does feel as it has a little more torque.

Many on of the members on this forum got the Cinco to replace their core prop. This would show a huge improvement on speed. As for looking at specs I would see the cinco will not holeshot the weight as fast for you guys that have weighted down boats.

I have the bow sac and I have two 750's. I have a lot of friends. So between John and I writing up some good explanations on these props we will def have so good info and pictures. Maybe the creator of this thread can give us a good honest write up with video and stuff.
