1999 with the 5.7 and a bravo 2. I trashed the one that was on there. Not even fixable. It's a aluminum 3 blade that has 7229 stamped on it. Not sure what it means. Thanks.

Black Diamond did you ever find out? I need the same info.
I have a 97 266 Fiesta Vee (27'5'' LOA) with a B-II. She came with a three blade S.S.
prop when we bought her last March. Late last season we spun the hub, so we ended our season a few weeks early. She did +/- 4500 rpm at WOT. I took the prop to Airmarine, Inc. in Chicago. They cleaned the prop, found the numbers, and called me the same day. The prop is junk, it's a 21 pitch that has no cup left and has been ground-on by someone who didn't know what they were doing, so it probably performed like a 19 pitch.
Kathy at Airmarine looked thru her books, and using boat weight, LOA, horsepower etc. determined I should have a 19 pitch. I have a new Mercury prop, I'll see how she performs come spring.
