i have a 1979 17" RichLine with a Mercury 900 , I've been trying to find a prop the same size as the damaged one I pulled off. Which is 13 x 17 , It seems I'm having a bit of trouble finding an aluminum prop in this size 
. I see ones like the blackmax that are 13 1/2 x 17 but I'm not sure if this will work. will it? I know that you can change the back numbers for top speed or acceleration but im not as sure about the front numbers. I tried googling that shi* but with no help as I can find no kind of mercury prop that is 13 x 17 .. thanks for helping a new boat owner. This boat was passed on to me from my Father. I've been trying to get it back in the water. I have to go price some pressure treated wood tomorrow. the whole floor was rotted along with the fiberglass split from one end to the other all hidden beneath the carpet . I remember seeing a 2 x 4 rafter about a 1/4 thick. so next is the floor and then on to the prop and impeller replacement. Thanks in Advance for reading , Sincerely Captain Smokey
