I had my Stainless Prop stolen a few months ago off of my outboard. I can't remember the Diameter and Pitch from the last prop. The boat is a 1994 Bass Tracker PanFish 16. It's 17ft long overall with stick steering. The outboard is the same that came with the boat new (1994 Mercury 40hp). Looking for overall performance prop for the boat and top speed would be a plus.
Thanks in advance

Is it a pan fish 16 or 17.
I only find a 16 that weighs 560 w a 5'9" beam and a 25hp standard.
The lightest 17 I found was 1440 lbs with a 5'11" beam and 40 hp.
Anyway help us with the actual length, dry weight etc.

The prop that is normally installed on the 40/50 HP Merc with a standard lower unit (1.83:1 gears) is a 10-1/2 x 13P. That is almost universal on that size boat. If the motor is a Big Foot (which it is probably not, it would taKe a 13-3/4 x 15P or 17P as a starting point.
