1235 the way to go?

[KirkB]

So I propped my boat last year on a sandbar and am looking to replace the prop with an Acme model then get my OEM prop fixed to use as a spare. We're into wakeboarding and cruising around. Just started working on the surfing thing toward the end of the season last year. From what I've been reading it seems like the 1235 is a good choice for me but wanted to confirm with more knowledgeable folks Its a 2007 VTX with stock ballast and the 5.7L if that helps.

How much ballast are you running? What motor do you have?

What model did you damage? 537?

In my opinion the 1235 would be just fine. A lot of guys love the 2315 but I can't see you needing that much prop in a VTX. I run the 1235 in my LSV and it is performing great even while heavily loaded for surfing.

We also run a 1235 on an 09 21vride heavily loaded and it does great with a 320LCR.

1235 all the way .. That's what I run ...awesome..

[KirkB]

It was the stock prop so I'm guessing it was a 537. I think that's what came stock on it. I have the 5.7L motor with stock ballast at this point. Haven't got into running any sacks yet.

I too run a 1235 on a 21vride 320 lcr heavily weighted. No problems with this setup at all.

How much loss at top end with the 1235 compared to the stock 537? We do a lot of lunch/dinner runs.

Thanks

40'ish on my 1235 last I checked. Not by GPS but I bet that is close.

This is my experience as well at WOT. I cruise at 25-26 mph @ 3200 rpm which isn't great but then again I'm not in a hurry when on the water.

[KirkB]

I was wondering about speed as well. Sometimes we gun it going from cove to cove or what not. 40 is plenty fast. I think it's not much over that with the stock prop.

[NorrisMike]

That's with the LCR too. Monsoon revs 200 rpm higher I believe. May squeeze an extra 1-2 mph out of it

I had a 1235 on my 2007 VTX and absolutely loved it. You can not go wrong with that prop on that boat.

Na. Lucky if you hit 38. Time to upgrade that engine.

[Robert95z]

2315 is a beast... love it... No exp with the 1235 however

[teamerickson]

I'm currently trying out a 1615. Similar to the 1235 but with a little more pulling power.

[JROC]

I just put a 1615 on my '07 VTX and it's awesome!! Highly recommend it.

[williemon]

Jumping in with a question. Those that run the 1235 with the monsoon, what speed will you get at the rpm of 3500 to 3800?

This will be highly related to your tranny ratio.

[dielawn]

I don't recall what RPM I was at, but full speed my 07 VTX with the 1235 hit 40mph easily. The prop only took off 2mph vs the stock prop that it came with. With ballast,sacs, and full boat load of people, you will be suprised how easily it pop you out on plain compared to the stock prop. I forgot which model it was but im sure it was the same as you currently have if its the stock prop.

[williemon]

I was thinking like a 1.5 ratio for v drives. Don't want to hijack just thought I'd ask.

[KirkB]

Anybody know the primary difference between the 2315 and 1235? I'm leaning heavily toward the 1235 at this point.

What's your experience with it so far? Good pull out of the hole with decent top speed still?

2315

Diameter15"

Pitch12"

Cup.105"

1235

Diameter14.5"

Pitch14.25"

Cup.105"

So the 2315 is larger diameter, and pitched significantly lower. It is also more expensive by like a hondo. I have run both on my vlx with a monsoon 350. I could tell a definite difference between the two but it wasn't quite as evident as 537 to 1235. This thing jumps out of the water even really loaded down. I usually run rule stock, 900 in each vdrive locker and 1100 up front with the wedge. . Never given me a problem

I will be running the OJ 925 next week it is a 14.75" x 13.75, will give you a review of it. I am hopeful it is going to be a really nice tweener prop from 1235 to 2315.

[greg2vlx]

I run a 1235 with 2,200 lbs in an 09 V-ride and really like it for what it's worth.

[D-GOOSE]

I have been running the OJ 475 14.25 x 14 for a few years and love it. This weekend I'm going to be running the OJ 915 14.75 x 14..5 and next weekend I'll have the OJ 925 on. Plus a GB is going to be going on next week.
