230 6.2L Prop Choice

[Tyler230]

What are people finding to be the best prop on the new 6.2L supercharged engine when adding weight? I am going to be adding roughly 2500# over stock ballast for surfing. Any suggestions?? I have been in contact with Jim a Acme and he said he has not heard much about what people are doing with this new engine combination. I am interested to hear people's input and finding with regards to out of the hole, rpm/fuel economy etc etc

You're the first cat on the PN block to own one (that I recall seeing), so you may end up being the prop guinea pig. Congrats on picking up one baddass ride!

Does it even need a prop? :-)
Congrats, you'll have to tell us how that thing gets out of the hole!

That is a FUN boat! I drove one down at the factory a few months back.

Hopefully this "guinea pig" experience goes smoothly! Does anyone know the maximum diameter prop can be fit under the (2012yr) 230 (safely without gel burn)? Acme basically pointed me in the direction of finding the largest safe diameter then said we will start talking about pitch and cup options. My boat is an hour away so any info would be greatly appreciated.
