    Lying on the seabed, more than likely! :D
    Sorry for the cruel joke, I couldn't resist.
    I can't help with regard to sourcing a prop in FL either, but I'm sure someone will be soon around with good suggestions.

    Just a thought: if you have the original boat manuals, they should normally include the props specs.
    I would consider also that for the replacement, on top of matching the other prop.
    In fact, it could be a good occasion for fine tuning also the remaining prop, if by chance the boat wasn't performing 100% as she should.
    Which is to be expected to some extent, after a quarter of a century...
