Hi

13.5" dia 25" Pitch
probably for a old mid 60's 100HP on a real light boat.
A link would help.

Re: what can you tell me on this prop All I got is numbers

Back long ago when I was young my parents bought a Tahiti 16' with a 1250 merc (Big Red I). Over the next ten years my Dad and I spend a lot of time getting the best speed we could out of that boat. The prop that was the best speed wise and midrange acceleration was the merc Suface Rider a 2 blade bronze. It was a good 2-3 mph faster then anything else we tried and it had AWESOME midrange.

The picture of the prop on Ebay looks like the old surface rider, great for speed and midrange but NOT good for water sports.
