We just purchased our first cabin style boat and love all the teak and character the boat offers. Boat has Chrysler 318, what prop should be on it and also what should i expect for top and cruising speeds. Prop is dinged and strut needs remounted little wobbly probably will do new prop and cutlass bearing, and remount strut. Thanks for your time and help. We are planning updates and some restoration so will have lots of questions/insight.If anyone knows prop size, cutlass bearing and prop shaft specs that would be greatly apppriciated.

The F-26 came with a 14X10 wheel. She'll cruise nicely at 17-18 mph at 3K rpm. WOT speeds of around 26-28 mph are common.

Congratulations on your new boat!
