what prop

[kko]

any of you guys or gals run an acme 381 on a 22v.

[mtnsmith]

Why you want to change? Is the 381 a 3 blade?

[kko]

just really wana use it as a back up/spare while i send my other one out. or if its better use it all the time. there are a few of them out there for sale pretty cheap.

I would check with Acme to see how it would perform with your boat, If it is different than stock it may or may not perform adequately.

If you land up needing a new one SBPFan sells ACME and he cut me a heck of a deal when I bought my spare 537 for the 20V.

Good luck

ha ha yeah i work for him. gary you so silly.
i talked with the guys over at acme they said its not a good wakeboard prop its more for footin and stuff wher you would want a lttle more top end. not so good for wholeshot when weighted for wakeboard or surf. so my search continues.

What are you looking for kko? I'm always on the look out, if I see something I'll let you know. Knock on wood my prop is still perfect, I haven't hit anything but some sand at idle speed.

I am silly, that is for sure, I did not realize you worked for Dom. Hard to tell w/ the forum names who is who.

How are things going down there? I certainly miss the weather. This short season crap up here is for the birds. You never realize how good something is until its gone.

Anticipation is killing me! I have a major trade show coming up which will eat up all my time from April 11 - 29, so it looks like May will be the 1st opp to bust out the dry suit. I also have another one that is once every 3 years that is June 12 - July 2 which kills 3 weekends in June so I am going to have to make the most out of May that I can.

When are you thinking about taking the 1st slide of the year on your feet?

[illiniboarder88]

Not sure when I'll foot for the first time. Will probably wakeboard in a week. I'm going to go out and do some boat prep this weekend, but I probably won't put it in the water for a few weeks out of fear of having to rush out to avoid a cracked block some night. You won't need a drysuit in may. From what I hear, Clinton will be plenty warm to trunk it by May.

After living in FL for so long I am not sure about skinning it in May up here even @ Clinton. I used to surf w/ boardies and a heater shirt in 70-degree water but I cannot imagine it being much warmer than that in a month or so. I kind of live by the practice that “since I have a dry suit I might as well use it”.

The water was almost too warm in the summer down by the outlet side of the plant so I am hoping you are right. The only problem w/ that side is everyone heads for the warm water so the cold side will have the best potential for glass. However I will be ready when you are dry suit or not and will let you know when I am headed out.

[illiniboarder88]

Sounds good, I'll probably be in a non-power plant lake within the next two weeks, so Clinton will feel warm.

I am heading to Lake Delavan, WI Friday to test my Speed Set after the flash of the ECM in November. I want to make sure this is 100% before tax day when year one of warranty is up.

I am just launching boat leaving on bow cover and taking a couple of spins around lake to amke sure all is ok. I will record water temp for you if not frozen.

If there is ICE I am fubarred
