Re: kamper
 
It would help considerably to know what prop is on the boat now. The stamped markings should be on the inside of the prop hub. They're usually marked as either a size (ie 14.25 x 19) or a model #.

There is really no such thing as "original equipment" with props. Props were usually supplied by the original vendor depending on what usage was planned for the boat. I would suspect yours was supplied with either a 19" or a 21" pitch 3 blade prop. A 19" would give lots of low end & mid range grunt while sacrificing a bit off the top end. The 21" would give decent mid range with a higher top speed but will sacrifice the low end. A 20" 4 blade would split the difference.
