WTB: Prop for Johnson 115

I'm currently running a stainless 13 1/4 x 21 on my underpowered motor for
my boat. Have been told to try a 19 pitch, can't find one anywhere local
and want one. Don't want an aluminum either. Anyone have one for me?

I was running a 21" Stainless 4 blade on my Ranger 17' fisherman (680 C).
and I was slow out of the hole and topping out at about 5200 RPM with a load
(Yamaha 115). I took the prop in for service after I tapped a rockpile and
put a slight bend in one blade and while it was in I had the shop knock 1
inch off the pitch. Now I'm out of the hole in a couple of seconds and my
top end redlines at 5500-5600 and I gained about 2 to 3 mph top end (50 MPH
on GPS with 2 guys and equipt). Maybe you just need a pitch adjustment. It
only took a couple of days for a local shop here in NJ to finish it and it
looks and performs like a new prop. I think the company was called Atlantic
Prop in Edison NJ.

Rich,

Thanks for the advice. I can't believe in all the places I've been looking
for either a new or used prop, these boneheads didn't offer that to me. I
know they run props out for service too. If I don't find one soon, I'll try
that.

I found a classified ad in a Louisiana Sportsans magazine for 13 X 19 SST
prop that came off of a 115 Johnson. It might be what you are looking for

Look for a prop shop near you. I can give you a few in Louisiana if you want
to send it. A good prop shop will ask you questions before adjusting your
prop. They may even make recommendation on what might be your best bet.

The following does excellent work according to my experience and friends of
mine.
