Need prop specifications for my Johnson

[Seabiscuit_1]

Hello Everyone

I have a 1965 90HP Johnson Meteor II motor with electromatic shift which runs great but doesn't have a prop. I am having a hard time tracking down any of the specifications i need to replace it. Does anyone know what the correct pitch, diameter, etc. specifications are for my motor so i can start shopping for one? Thanks for the help!

Great. Should i just purchase the stock 10 1/4 x 10 prop then ? Since i don't have a prop on it currently I am not able to evaluate if that prop would give give me the best preformance when matched to my motor, hull, and preformance needs, etc.

Thanks again!

On our 16ft Evinrude boat with a 1965 90hp the 10 x 11 gave us 4400, the 10 x 9 1/4 gave 4800 and the best all around performance. The 9 1/2 x 10 also gave 4800 but had poorer holeshot.
I'm not sure if Bombardier still offers props for this engine, I think michigan only offers the 10 x 11. Ebay might be the best bet. The same props were used on the V4 60hp, v4 65hp, v4 75hp, 80hp and 1968 85hp.
