So I bought my first boat....craigslist is awesome. I got a 1980 Skeeter 16ft Bass Boat with a 1979 Johnson 115 on the back.
So I looked it up and found that a 13 spline prop works. So I got one on ebay. I get it delivered and take it out of the box and try to put it on...FAIL.
Apparently I have a 15 spline shaft for the prop.
1st question, how is that possible?
2nd question, what prop do I buy? I think this isnt an exact science and you need to experiment with a few props till you find the correct one, but where should I start?
