Andrew, the prop is 16.5" diameter, 29" pitch, 18 degrees rake. This was the original estimated spec that I worked out with Hering, and it seemed to work well on the Bay, although it was so choppy...

We had a problem-free weekend at Smith Mountain Lake. A very-well run and super-friendly poker run. This thing just ran like a train all day, and used very little gas. Impressive.
