So, I think I just made the mistake of offering to buy something that, it turns out, the guy is willing to sell. Actually at a price I can’t walk away from. It’s a decent shape, but badly neglected, Fish Nautique. I’ve always wanted one, because I’m an idiot, I guess. Anyway, any of you guys running current Acme or OJ’s on a FN care to share prop model numbers or suggestions? I suppose, being a V, possibly even worth looking at what a BFN would run?

Patrick,
Is there a prop on it now? If so, what is it and what's it's performance? That would give you a good starting point. |

Honestly Pete,
I pick the boat up this afternoon and it’s likely gonna be some time before it’s back on the water. The prop looks original and in pretty rough shape. I wouldn’t want to run it at all. I’ll take some pictures of the boat when I bring it home. Maybe I’ll include some of the weeds growing in it. |

factory prop on a Fish was 14x11 with a 351 up to 1988. 1989 took a 14x14 1 /8

Woody, What engine was in the 1989 and up? 3 inches of pitch is a pretty bug jump! |

You should probably be wondering what transmission was used in 89 instead of what engine was used in 89 |

Yup, I should have thought of that. Thanks for always correcting me Ken. |

It's a dirty job Pete, but somebody has to do it. |

I just bought an 1978 Fish with the 351 and have 15 x 13 prop. I have not ran the boat yet as it needs some work. By looking I thought the prop was wrong as it is so close to the bottom of the hull. Is the 14 x 11 the correct one?
