First cleaned up pictures of my new Prostar

Congrats... I'm originally from the Quad Cities (Bettendorf). Where you planning on using it around CR? The resevoir?

Agree, I am curious as well.

Do you see something that makes you question whats on there? All I know about the prop is the owner said it was good for 47 mph and that it would rip your arms off. I will get a better look at it when the wind chill creeps back above 0 this weekend.

Will use it on the Res on weekend mornings before the partiers get out of bed and trailered in, and also on the Cedar River on weeknights.

No, this is not to throw a scare into you by any means. Sorry if I did. My bad. I'm just curious because of the engine size. I believe the hull may be about like my 1998 PS190 but I only have a 350 cid in mine and my prop looks a bit small. I may have to get in touch with Jim at ACME and discuss that with him. So this is ONLY a question.

Acme #541 CNC 13x12 is what you want, if it's a 1:1, on my 351w it's a beast for hole shot and also gained top end.

So in theory, which prop should I have on mine with the 454? Its got a 4 blade on it currently, but I still am unsure of which one it is. Im sure it will be fine, but just wondering what the go-to choice is for a PS 454.

Go-to is a 13x13 LH for the 454 regardless of the gearing ratio. There are other possibilities. Keep it simple and functional. Don't worry about making Jeff Foxworthy proud.

As was stated, if you want to know the current 4 banger, pull the prop and look on the hub.

Great looking boat. Congrats

13x13 traditional hand finished prop (Federal/OJ)? That would be on the small side for 454ci. 14x14 and 13x15 were the classic prop sizes that came on big block Correct Crafts, so I would consider 13x14 a minimum. A modern CNC 13x14 would most likely be the best for all around use, and a CNC 13x13 would be a good pulling prop. Both choices "act" about an inch larger in pitch than their classic hand finished counterparts.
