Finding said prop can be a bit of a science experiment. Call Mike down at Skip's Prop Shop in North Charleston. He could prolly set ya right up and reduce your learning curve.

    You just gotta decide how much time and effort you want to put in to this project. If you just really want a new to you motor, a new prop isn't gonna scratch that itch. If you want to get to the root of the problem without spending a ton of money and the hassle and time invested in selling/buying boats, then a little experimentation with props might be your best bet. Often time the right prop can make ALL the difference.
    I agree 100% my thoughts exactly even before I read this post - willyworm saved me a lot of typing.

    For those that were following, I went with option B and the entire rig is up for sale on the TP. I would split it up if someone wanted hull or motor provided I could get the other half sold too. Thanks for all of the input, believe it or not, it change my mind. I was completely prepared to drive all over hell and half of Georgia to by a used motor and sell mine. MG
