Best prop for 2100V

[ou812]

Hi, I just picked up a 2001 2100V Limited a couple weeks ago and took it out for the first time this past weekend. All in all it was a real good time, just a couple minor things. The previous owner had a new Acme 381 13.5" x 17.5" prop put on it before he sold it. Both the hole shot and top end suffered. The boat has the 350 mag 315hp and blue v drive in it. The best it would do on top end was around 4100 rpm (about 39 mph). The hole shot also suffered and took awhile to get up on plane (boat had 4 adults in it). I'm looking for hole shot more then top end but would like the engine to pull to around 4800-5000 rpm's like its suppose to.

I'm looking at the Acme 537 13.5" x 16" or the 1579 13.5" x 14.25" 0.105 cup or 1631 13.50" x 14.250" 0.150 cup. Does any one have any good input on which of these props would work the best? Whats the difference between the 0.105 cup and the .150 cup?

Call ACME. They will make the best recommendation based on your current performance, goals, how you use the boat, elivation you boat at and engine an final drive ration.

I have the same boat and I have played with all sorts of props...I probably have at least 3 or 4 GREAT ALMOST NEW props for you that I can help you with....I have both Acme and OJ makes, you can call me on my cell (email me) if you would like

The 537 was an improvement over the Johnson 14X18 prop that came on my 2100V.
I agree with Chpthril, call ACME and talk to them about how you plan to use the boat, your typical elevation, etc.
