See below if your curious what a 2016 Z3, with the 440 will do with a 15" x 14 pitch prop....unweighted but with 4 adults and 5 kids in the boat.
Performance wise, it has no issue surfing a full boat at max ballast. Slalom hole shot is great. Overall, quite pleased. The fact that my WOT is 5500 makes me think I could go with a 2277 just fine. I think I'll run the OJ 948 for the rest of this season and then sell my ridiculously low 2419 and get a 2277 (15" x 15.75 pitch) for my spare prop.
Speeds with OJ 948
28 mph = 3650
30 mph = 3872
31 mph = 3960
32 mph = 4100
WOT = 39 mph = 5500
