1972 23.5' SS-235 Slickcraft OMC drive. Origionally had a 302 (888) upgraded to a 5.7L 260hp. I'm assuming the prop should be upgraded to meet the HP? maybe up one size on the pitch. Not sure what the original prop size was yet. Or wait till spring and sea trial it? See what the wot is? Any suggestions?
