‘22 Prostar propeller recommendation

[braindamage]

I just picked up a ‘22 Prostar 6.0L and want to buy a spare prop. AWSA approved propeller is an OJ 1709-MF 13.9x14.25”.

Is there another recommendation? We primarily open water ski, and if we use in the course, we have lots of room. I’d prefer one that softens or minimizes the wake.

The 1709-MF is the best from a wake perspective. That's why it's the approved tournament slalom prop. The 867MF will give you a stronger pull and a little more speed, but the slalom wake will degrade some. That's the prop that's typically used for pulling jump.

Most people think the wake on the 14-20 Prostar is a little better below 34mph. But the wake on the 21+ is still really good and it takes a little less driver attention to track straight in the course. Personally, I prefer driving the 14-20 a little over the 21+ because I like the livelier feel and don't mind having to pay a little more attention in the course.
