Correct Prop and Flo-Torque hub kit? Use existing, new or both thrust hubs?

[Canyonites]

Hoping you can help? We have a 1965 Dorsett El Rey Runabout with Sterndrive. The serial # on 120 hp motor is 1828491. As you are aware, this has the old thrust hub. You stated that prop's for this setup are no longer made for this? Do you know what prop we can use since that is compatible? We found a quicksilver black diamond QA1916X prop flo-torque 11 hub that will fit using the existing thrust hub but everything says to use the flo-torque thrust hub that came with the kit. If we do so, we need to leave the existing on and use both thrust hubs which creates a large gap between the prop. Do you have a recommendation for which prop and flo-torque kit will work on our old setup? Or is it ok to use our existing thrust hub with the new flo-torque kit but without there thrust hub?

If the prop comes with, or states a particular thrust washer and other hardware, then use it. If it doesn't then it is assuming the engine is already using the later style hardware and it is compatible with it
