If you just ride with all the bags/tanks full and a couple people on board, you are probably ok with the Cinco or 1235. But if you want to also use the wedge or have more people, a bunch of us are moving to a prop with a little more grunt. I'm going to the 2315, others are doing 2079.
Last week I had the following:
Factory ballast full
950 up front
600's in rear lockers.
Myself along with two other adults and 3 older teenagers
Wedge up.
1235 Prop.
Had a hard time getting it to plane out as most were also sitting in the back.
This weekend I had the following:
Factory ballast full
950 up front
600' in rear lockers but not completely full. Probably about half to 3/4
Myself along with one other adult.
Wedge Down.
1235 Prop.
No problem at all getting it to plane out.
Not sure the difference other than the 600's were full the first time and we had more people in the back of the boat.
Second time we didn't have them full nor people in the back of the boat BUT we had the wedge down.
