Yet another prop question

A deal of the century has landed in my lap, and I have a chance to buy aperfect condition SS prop, but have no idea if it will be of any godo for me. Propellors are on area of boating I have stayed away from, and I figured some of the gurus here may have advice.

I own a 1992 Checkmate Enticer(17'), with a 92 Merc 115 OB. currently runnnig an alm. prop. cheap and easy to repair we have a bad lake for rocks/shoals.

I have an opportunity to buy a SS chop prop for a good price.

Merc # 48-75774-26 came off a Merc V6 OB. I cannot locate it on mercury's website so I am reluntant to buy it. One, not sure of it will fit; and two, 26' pitch is alot for a small 115 OB.

Any advice from the experts here?

Your 115 will never turn it. Also it will likely be a large hub and it looks like your motor is small hub. You should be looking for a small hub 3 blade 19-21 pitch. For reference my 130hp Yamaha turns a 20p Laser @ 5800rpm. I liked the Ballistic on my 115 Merc and they are less expensive used than Merc props. When I had the 115 Merc it could turn a 19p Ballistic to 5600rpm but then it was 10 years older than yours. Is the prop in Canada? If it is PM me the information on it, I'm looking for a prop for my 200 Merc.
 
Anyone here run composite props?

On a lake that sees every boat geta new prop on avg every 3-4 yrs, yes its that bad, they do hold alot of draw.

Took me 3 yrs to need 2 new blades on my allum. prop and already have diged it several times since.

Goldenlake is the largest in the ottawa valley and also one of the shallowest with a water level change yearly that matches the Bay of Fundy.
