ACME or DQX props?

Here is direct from ACME

We’re coming out with 18x23 4-Blades with light/mod. cup when we have it plugged in at 4450 RPMs. We have this exact boat in our test data and these props they even gained some speed which it looks like you’ve got excellent speed now but it’s possible you could even get a little more. If you wanted the boat propped closer to 4600 RPMs we’d go with something closer to 18x21 4-Blades with mod./heavy cup. Based on the sizing and our testing data, we’d recommend part #1055-18.00X23.00C LEFT-HAND 4BLADE 1.50 BORE .075 CUP & #1054--18.00X23.00C RIGHT-HAND 4BLADE 1.50 BORE .045 CUP. We’d have to modify the cup to .045 Cup on #1054 right-handed propeller. We unfortunately don’t have these on the shelf right now so they need to be built. Lead times are running about 8-weeks. If you’d like the boat propped closer to 4600 RPMs, let me know, and we can look at something different in terms of propeller part numbers/size.

This was with 3/4 tanks, 2 people with a boat load for a 5 day trip + 2 electric bikes on board. LOL. Current props are Teignbridge.

Those are really nice numbers.... What kind of props does the boat come with from the Factory? Also do you know what your fuel burn is? I might just pitch them from you numbers or bring them to where you get them scanned and done, since your local...

What part of LI are you in?? We like to travel with the boat to Greenport, Sag & Shelter a lot... Now we want to do block....
