If you read the stickies at the top of the page and the helps on the prop storte page it will help you understand better about prop selection.
W e really need base line performance numbers.Prop size(on the barrel or under the prop nut)present max rpm and speed.Perhaps one or all may be repairable.
We need the rpm and speed to tell if any issues are with the setup,motor or prop.

Gotcha!!!! I guess the best bet s to have a prop repair shop advise me first. My father owned this boat since new and was into rpm and pitch ect... so the current prop is correct for the boat, just in need of some attention! Thanks for the info!!!! G

Thats a good start get back to us with the performance specs and we can help tell if things are still up to snuff.Good luck.
