7 to 7 1/2 propeller wanted?

Has anyone got any 7 to 7 1/2 inch prop or a larger size prop which I could customise?

I want to put the biggest prop possible on a featherweight gearbox.

Re: Gearbox swap...higher ratio needed on a silver century

How hard is it to adapt a sporty looking japanese prop onto a seagull?

I wont be able to fit the 11in weedless on the featherweight gearbox, due to the waterpump housing being in the way.

Thank, Emrys

Gearbox swap...higher ratio needed on a silver century

I made a 8ft hydroplane out of ply.
Ive got a seagull silver century with a 11inch prop.
Now I want to fit a higher range gearbox to get a faster/smaller prop.
Any recommendations? It needs to be clutched. 40 plus would work I think.
