I have a set of 36"x36" props. They are tuned and balanced to ISO 1 specs. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks

Maybe check with Sams too. I know they have a huge inventory of used props. They might also have an idea on sizing.

Yes, they are off of a 63' Hatteras Motoryacht.

Who is “they”? A yard, a shade tree prop shop, a reputable prop shop? Why are they no good? Wrong size, damaged, ???

Start with what the boat was delivered with which should be in a the manuals or call hatteras. A good prop shop should be able to tell you what you need based on displacement, hull, HP, gearing etc

A good prop shop can repair almost any damaged prop. I've never had one tell me my props were "no good" and I've sent in some rough ones.

I use Black Dog Props: http://www.blackdogprops.com/ He does all the props for Viking Yachts.....yes, THE Viking Yachts.

What is the issue? Are they damaged or are you having performance issues? Your post doesn’t mention damage but size and blade counts.

If you re having performance issue a good shop can do the calculations. When I repowered my 53, the prop shop calculated everything and was spot on. They predicted 20kts top and I got that with 6 sqft fins not included in the calculations.
