First I'd like to thank the people who helped me with my prop shaft removal, now that jobs done I would like help with choosing a new prop. My boat is a 75 F25 I've re engined with a mercruiser 350 5.7 Chev motor and would like to know what prop size and pitch would be optimal. Thanks

Most likely 14"x10". I believe thats the recommended size for my f26. Running a 351 ford mercruiser rated at 233hp. To cup or not to cup. I can't say. I have an extra 13x9 that I don't think is Ideal for me but it's a good spare. May consider selling it. Think its nibral. I think its too cold here to even work on the boat.

I'm running 260hp on a slightly smaller boat so it may just suit. By the way dont intend to rub in but it's 30c here and never gets much below 25 during the day ha ha

I have a 75 F-26 with a 5.7 Crusader, 14 x 10 with a full cup. The cup made the biggest difference performance wise on my boat.

Thanks Matt similar motor output and boat characteristics I'll most probably go with the same. Have a great Christmas.

Hey Ian, what part of Australia are you from? I just got back from there 2 weeks ago. Spent 3 months mostly in Brisbane/Gold Coast area. Beautiful. Now back home and freeeezing. Good Day Mate.

I'm from Brisbane but currently at Coffs Harbour on the north coast of NSW am warm as toast here

Did work in Coffs Harbour at Coles Supermarket. Hope your doing some fishing. I tried to go while there but it blew too hard every weekend I could go and the boats would not go out. Drink a XXXX Gold for me.

Sorry I cant stand XXXX too much chemical I prefer a Hahn premium. funny about the weather here Coffs is supposed to have the best climate in the world but this year has been rough. Pity we didn't catch up while you were here I could do with a chat with someone who's Trogan minded as you would know they are pretty thin on the ground here.

I may be coming back next year sometime. If I do I will be sure to look you up. I was suprised to see a Trojan in Au. I surely never saw any while I was there. I don't care for Hahn but Tuey's was not too bad. I told everyone in USA how much beer and cigs are there and no one believes me. Very expensive place there.
