Hi Don,

Just a thought, the only way I would know my prop size is to look for the
stamping on the hub, "22 x 22 L" or such, or, look it up in my survey,
wherein the surveyor no doubt did the same thing! If you took a prop in and
had pitch added or removed, would the prop shop alter the stamping? What if
the blades were cupped? So, is it possible that the new boat actually has
more pitch than the old? Good luck and keep us posted.
