The ACME 1617 4-Blade propeller offers the most aggressive holeshot and acceleration for heavily weighted boats, but in a slightly smaller diameter for boats that have clearance issues.
If you use your boat entirely for wakesurfing and wakeboarding, and have added a significant amount of additional ballast, the ACME 1617 propeller will restore your boats acceleration, speed holding and fuel economy.
The ACME 1617 4-Blade Propeller offers more surface area than comparable 4-Blade propellers which means a more efficient transmission of power, higher fuel economy, and more consistent speeds. Thanks to ACME’s continued devotion to push the ski and wakeboard boat propeller industry to new heights inboard props are helping ski and wakeboard boats achieve performances never before seen.
Prior to 1999, ski and wakeboard boat propellers were cast from molds, a process that offered little precision and had severe limitations for the size and shape of the blades. The result was inefficient props with small blade surface area and poor balance which caused vibration in the boat drive train. However, all that changed when ACME introduced CNC machining to the inboard propeller industry. By precision machining its waterski and wakeboard boat propellers ACME is now able to hold tolerances and achieve accuracies never before seen in the inboard propeller industry.
What does that mean for you? The ACME 1617 4-Blade Propeller will perform up to and surpass the standards you expect from the moment you pull it out of the box and put it on your boat.
Quality product. Upgrading to this prop made my boat more responsive and more pleasant to drive while towing & surfing.
We are so happy to hear this, and we thank you for the review!
Swapped this out from a Acme 1939. Much better prop. Virtually no cavitation. Bit slower than original, but of course much better performance and hole shot than most other props. No disappointments at all. Quiet with no growl. I tried the 1939 initially, which truly is just a cruising prop. This is a great prop for sports and cruising if you don't mind keeping it under 30mph (to keep noisy RPM down). I have replaced props many times. Will be keeping this one. Running at medium altitude lake ) 2,300', on Moomba XLV with vortex indmar 6.0L 409HP
I upgraded from the Acme 1433 which came stock on the S21, and although the 1433 is already dubbed as a 'Wakeboard/Wakesurf' specific prop, there was a very obvious improvement in the holeshot performance with the 1617. I also noticed a great improvement when turning a tight radius under load, like when pulling a tube or other heavy toy/rider. I might have lost a couple of Mph on the top end, although I can't be certain as I never run the boat wide open anyhow. I didn't get quite the improvement that I was looking for regarding the ability to get on plane when very heavily weighted (i.e. mid-ship and rear ballast full) although I need to play around with that as it could be a weight distribution issue that I need to resolve. If money isn't an issue and you're looking for a nice performance upgrade...I would highly recommend a proactive swap-out to the 1617. Additionally, if you ever need to replace a damaged prop and are going to spend the money regardless, you can't go wrong with the 1617!
Replaced a bent prop on 2014 ENZO. Much smoother pull and develops wave much quicker. Realize now that my old prop was junk from when I purchased boat. It also improved the quality of the surf wave. Not sure why, but it is noticeable.
I normally don't write reviews on products, but I have to say this thing blew me away. We have a 2005 Moomba LSV and really got into surfing a few years back. We are now up to 3000 lbs of ballast and the boat struggled to get on plane. If we could get the boat to hit 15mph it was amazing. Now I know you don't surf at this speed but sometimes you need to get across the lake to drop someone off or pick someone up and it took all day to get there. Read the review on this and was like, what the heck lets give it a go. Holy crap is all I can say! Night and day difference. Hole shot! up and on play like it was nothing. We could have a full load of people and still pull 250lb men up and not feel them. to boot we were able to do 25mph with a full load and only spin 3000 rpm. This thing is an animal! We had more room on the throttle, but didn't have the need to go any faster. Dumped the ballast and gave it a spin. Out top speed in the past was 32mph. With the new prop dang near 40mph. Better fuel usage as well.
Amazing is all I can say! Truly amazing!
