[wakeboarder247]

what do you mean surf prop? I have never heard of a "surf specific" prop.. Is that what you're talking about or are you talking about a prop w/ a higher pitch?

[chpthril]

Haven't noticed any sluggish hole-shots while surfing but may re-prop w/an ACME this winter for boarding. Sac'ed out + peeps she is a little slow but still pulls good

I think our has too much pitch... Idk but it has a stainless steel prop on there that I didnt put on it from when I bought it from a guy in GA. But Getting up is pretty pathetic compared to my neighbors nautique that has the same size engine and its a V-drive. And the boat viberates and shakes alot too getting up... Anyone else have the problem?

get an acme CNC machined prop... they're lighter and more hydrodynamic.

do they make a 4 blade in brass?

Yes...sort of. It is actually made of Nibral. A nickel - brass - alluminum alloy, if I understand correctly.

I have never heard of someone getting a prop specifically for surfing, as that hole shot is not critical to the rider getting up easily.

I have a 537, and find it works super well.

You have the stock prop for that boat. Get an Acme 525. We surf with it all the time and it yanks my fat a$$ right up! It's a CNC machined prop.
