I have a 1978 Gibson Houseboat 36 ft with dual 318 chrysler engines. I unfortunately lost my RH prop coming into my boat slip one day. My problem is I do not know what size prop I have. I could not get my LH prop off to see what size it was. I believe they are 18X19X1 1/4. If anyone does for sure I would appreciate any info on this and where to buy one.

Thanks Alex

Considering the price of props I'd talk to a diver...

Yeah, a diver. They wanted ~$1000 for a new prop for mine.

My 37 CarlCraft has 18x15's on it.  (Just had them balanced & polished).  Pirate, what size props did my CarlCraft come with?

the diver isssue could be real tough, depending on how close you can come to saying where it spun off.........bottom conditions, our area has that green moss that kind of waves across the bottom, making recovery almost impossible, I dove for our PD it was all in zero visability conditions..

i reread your post coming into the slip a diver can hand search that with a good degree of sucess
