what prop

[malibu nz]

what would be a good all round prop for a 1999 wakesetter.I think the boat has 340 hp motor .we will use the boat just for waterskiing.would 4 or 3 blade be the best and what size would i need.

Thanks Todd

Wakesetter Direct drive? or Wakesetter VLX?

This prop application chart might help in our resouce library: Prop Page Link - There is a factory application gude and a aftermarket :step guide" One of these should help you out some

What prop is on the boat now? What change in performance are you looking for?

Skier-To-Skier carries OJ props. I have a 13 X 12 XMP Edge CNC'd 3 blade on my Sporty and couldn't be happier. If you go to the Skier-To-Skier site they answer some frequently asked questions. If you have more questions or would like the recommendation of someone that really knows props you can e-mail Max through their site. Great customer service and very competitive pricing.

For skiing? A CNC'd 3 blade. Either a 13 X 12 or 13 X 11.5 OJ XMP Edge.

Either shoot Max at Skier To Skier an e-mail (or call him) or drop Eric Johnson a PM. Eric is a member here and is with OJ Props. Either one of those guys would know which would be best for your application.

Personally I would stick with a 3 Blade.

On my old 98 Response I went from a 3 blade stainless 13x13 to a Acme 13x12 3 blade and the performance and handling was a dramatic difference.

Acme is the OEM prop for Malibu boats, OJ makes a good product too but to be honest i'm not as familiar with OJ as I am with Acme Props.
