1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
Not really applicable, This is my first boat. It is a fixer upper. The prop is slightly bent with a chunk out of one fin. I have run the boat imagine the ride was greatly effected by the damage. Not sure if it was good or bad anyway because of my lack of experience with boats.

2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless and as a minimum.
It is aluminum and I believe made by Merc

3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
By my measurement it is 13 inches in diameter and has a pitch of 19
number on the prop is 48 77346 a40 19p

4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
Not sure that I have had the boat to wide open throttle yet, and like I said the prop is damaged so I am not sure that info would really be correct

5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
1982 mercury outboard, 115hp inline 6 "tower of power"

6) Boat make model, year, length and weight
1981 McKee craft offshore fisherman, 17.5 length 88" wide, hull weighs 1480 pounds.

This boat will be used 95% fishing 5% pulling tubes, looking for good gas milage but still good performance.

I am not sure my current prop isn't the correct one but since it is damaged I am not sure if I should replace it with the same size/pitch

Thanks!
