moving along nicely spark, reviving an old outboard is always a great feeling.
W the model # of your GameFisher OB, you should be able to find a parts manual for it. That will tell you the prop you need, and any substitute/replacement props that should work. You may want to pull it off before you order a new one, IIRC, there may be a plastic or rubber 'hub' inside the prop that may or may not come w/ or fit a replacement prop.
I recently bought a replacement prop for a 2.5hp Johnson and the new prop didn't have the hub, but did fit the hub of the old prop. So be sure it's in good shape (if it has one) esp if the new prop doesn't show it's included.
There are likely parts diagrams available online too, and that should allow you to figure out if it has an impeller or not.....
Nice shot of Mount Hood.
Thanks, from what I found searching is it is both air and water cooled. Im not sure, I made it over today where the engine is at. I have it on my cars engine stand, cleaned it up while looking for some kind of markings. Im going to repaint the covers white, and the lower black. Its not pretty, but the old green is coming off amazingly easy. The teeth on the throttle grip are sheared.. The prop isnt seriously damaged is it? Would it work or is it a lost cause? All I can find is whats in the pic, other then whats in the pic --v its a Sears Gamefisher "Solid State" 7.5hp 2-stroke.

So my in-stock gel coat I ordered was out-of-stock somehow so gel coat is now delayed for a bit. I still have a bit of fiberglass work and bed liner to roll to keep me busy.
These are the oars, cleaned up and ready to be sanded. Going to restain and coat. Also hit the metal pieces with a wire brush and paint black.
