    New prop for my boat

    I bought a 02 mercury bigfoot and 28ft boat from a older fella who is no longer cabable of boating (sad) and the motor had a 13p prop on it. The mercury dealer i spoke to to get an idea of prop size since i put it on a jon boat, said the 13p prop is a pontoon prop made for pushing if that helps any!
