What is the standard prop that comes on a 2016 R20?

Depends on how the dealer ordered it. Some came with a 537 but I wouldnt recommend that prop to anyone.

[Jay4533]

Thats what I have. What would you recommend?

There are some guys on here that can give good info as far as what prop to run, but I’d just call Nettle props, and talk to them about elevation, weight, and all the given factors, they’ll have a good idea of what you should be running for your individual situation. Great guys and great customer service.

I had a 1433 in my old r20 but with the new raptors things have probably changed

Prop choice depends on elevation and how you are planning on using the boats. Wakemakers has a prop finder tool that is pretty darn accurate and easy to use. We run the Acme 2419 on pretty much all our boats, but it is a slow prop and if you plan on skiing or wakeboarding a lot I wouldnt use it. If you just want to move lots of weight, mostly surf, and dont care about top speed then the 2419 is a great prop

The 2419 is gonna be way to big for the r20 I don’t think it’ll fit.

Acme has a new website with prop recommendations that’s actually pretty accurate.

The Acme prop finder is pretty decent, as far as what it recommends, size, pitch, and all that, but it kept recommending props that I guess they don’t make anymore, for me, which I thought was a little weird on their own website. So I don’t know how up to date it is. I used the info I was getting from that, and talking to some of you guys, then talking to Nettle kind of helped me piece what I had gathered beforehand to make a final decision. The prop from Nettle was an Acme, drop shipped from Acme, but purchased through Nettle for $200 cheaper than Acme sells it. Wakemakers was out of stock on most of the stuff I looked at, but about the same price as Nettle, which I thought was weird as they can probably have Acme drop ship, as well. I use wakemakers, and they’ve always done me right. But for props, they just weren’t as on it as Nettle. Probably because they’re bigger, and have more going on. I’ll order boards and equipment through them, but will probably stick to Nettle for props in the future.

Pretty sure shaft angle is the same on the r20 as a 21 qhich should mean the 2419 should fit. Everyone keeps buying r23s, but I do know for sure the last R20 I repropped I put a 1235 on and theyve been happy.
.5" difference between 1235 and 2419.

So I have a 2016 R20 and run normally at 500 above sea level and I went to the 1433 and I love it. I have 500lbs lead added to the surf XL ballast and run at low RPMS while surfing and I also pull my dad slalom all the time.
