This is easy…. Call Acme and ask them. They are cool people to talk to. They hooked me up with what he called the diesel prop for my boat… where as I will lose some top end( our boats are sh*t for top end anyways) but great bottom end torque. Wakemakers is ok shop, but they only offer 3 for each boat, where as acme has their book and can set us up with exactly what we need. Plus the guy I spoke with at acme, knew what props OZ had that would work for my boat, ball park price, and what to expect… did not speak ill of them which is why I am giving massive love here. Imagine going to a chevy dealer and the sales person telling us about a ford and how it might be a better fit…. That never happens. Happy Thanksgiving!!
My only experience with a 5 blade prop was with my 2005 Sea Ray and it did provide more low end torque. What I hear in the forums is 5 blades don't really provide any advantage for inboard but I don't think they necessarily cause a disadvantage either. Hope this helps.
Very cool video! I was a little worried that our boat coming out of Utah, would have almost too much torque. But it works great, the low end torque is great but it get up to faster speeds in an instant. Awesome video, sorry I’m so late haha. I haven’t been on UA-cam too much lately. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Yes, I did say you can just call acme in the video as well. I've had a good experience with them as well. Happy Thanksgiving!
My 23 LSV came with a 5 blade prop...what is your experience with 5 blade versus 4 blade? Does 5 blade cavitate too much or great for torque?
