You should mention the shaft size??

From the photo with the tape measure, it looks like a 1" shaft dia. That does seem a bit small for that size prop though.

Looks like 25mm to me.

The shaft is still on boat and I can measure with calipers today. I was trying to show the size with a tape measure being that i'm not a sailor i thought that would be enough. The boat was a one off designed by Bill Crealock and my father. My parents are both gone. It has a 60hp Westerbeke engine(6hrs.)driving the prop. I'm in the process of salvaging due to wood decay and lack of funds.

Beautiful boat, sad to see it being parted out.

Sorry to hear about the boat being parted out. I first viewed your post while on my phone, so the pictures were tiny so the ruler did not show.

Good luck with the sale.

Total overall length from transmission to prop on shaft end is 12'.

Someone should buy this ($2500 new)! I bought one a few years back after looking at all of the "modern" equivalents. (I haven't got the new engine finished yet so can't personally report on performance.) The shaft size seems a bit small for a 60hp engine, but someone with a larger shaft might be able to get the hub machined larger by Luke or a local machine shop - not rocket science.

The great advantage of the Luke is that it has proper curved blades for best performance under power, at a small cost in drag under sail. Most feathering props have flat blades for minimal draq under sail (think race boats) but inferior performance under power. You choose.
