Hi all,

Newbie here. I have a boat that I am doing a new transom on, and among other things it needs a new prop. Here is what info I can provide:

1. No performance issues, just need a new prop. I have never had this boat in the water so I am totally unfamilar with what it needs or how it performs.
2. The current prop is aluminum and is pretty beat-up
3. The current prop is 10"D x 13"P
4.The motor is a 1997 Merc 25 hp 2 stk rpm range and max unknown.
5. The boat is 15' Livingston Pacific skiff, 1978 model. I would estimate the loaded weight at 900-1000 lbs. The hull has 16 degrees. of dead rise at the transom.

I fully understand any prop is a compromise. The primary use of this boat will be fishing, with capeability of running from one area to another with a fair degree of ease.

Thanks for the help,

Coho Ghost

Bondo,

Thanks for the recommendation. Will do the 10x13"P.

Any preference for the various brands available here on iboats?
