[C38] need big prop

[Max Soto]

Hey Steve,
I just checked Bacon sails and there's nothing similar to what I'm looking
for.. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow, as well as Minney's. Dan is
right, and they might have something that is not listed on the web. Your two
blade prop won't work for me, because is too small for the new engine, so, I
just have to keep looking around!
Regards,
Max
