1974 18SS 1971 85 HP Evinrude Proper Prop?

[bigredmf]

Greetings

Have owned the above boat for a few years. The prop is a bit buggered up.

Pulled the old one off and it is 14.25" x 21 pitch. Does not appear to be anywhere close to the original Evinrude prop.

On a smooth lake with light gear and my 250# mass I have reached 35 mph on gps.

Could someone with a similar combo let me know what they are running for a prop on their boats?

Really appreciate it

Thank you

That seems like a lot of prop for an 85, I think my 90 Johnny was a 13.5 x 17.

Unknown because motor is off the boat

Not sure it would apply as it is missing a few pieces.

Running a 13.5x 17 on my Jupiter with a 90. Had a 19 pitch --- but found it too much. Much prefer the 17.
