what prop do I need? 89 50 hp FORCE

[mklinger]

I cant seem to find what I should order for a prop. I have a 89 Spectrum Blue Fin 1706 with a 89 50hp FORCE. I use the boat for fishing. The prop thats on it looks to have been repaired a few times and has seen better days. I want a new prop and I will keep the old one as a spare since I dont have a spare.
This boat is underpowered in my opinion, but it works good enough for me to use for fishing. with one person and not much in the boat, it tops out at about 27mph. with the livewell full it does about 24 mph. I am adding some extra weight up front with a new 24 volt trolling motor and two batteries this spring.
I thought about getting a bigger motor, but I plan on getting a newer boat in a year or two so I will just fish out of this one like it is for now.
can anyone suggest the exact prop I should order for my sittuation? I dont know what the current prop is.

thanks for the help.

While a Chrysler Force guy might be able to suggest a prop we need a lot more info for us to help.
A Force guy would need the present prop size to know where to start from.
Read "read this first" at the top of the page and get us as much info as possible.
prop size, wot rpm and speed is most important. Size is usually near the base of the plades or under the prop nut.
