Thanks John got them. So it seems the 8 or 9.5 works equally as well. Looks like @RonWaterson chose the 8 so maybe I'll stick with the same one I'm taking off - served well for 39 years!

Hi Bill,
I got the 12x8 and it works fine. All the props will drive the Laser to hull speed before full throttle. Gori was having a 'boat show' special when I inquired about mine. I will email you the invoice. John |

Update and a follow up question. Update, current Gori vendor contact is: Brendan Prior
AB-Marine.com, Ph: 401.847.7960, Cell: 401.225.5726, HOME - AB Marine (ab-marine.com) and price is $1688 plus ~$200 shipping. Question: my 1985 boat has a prop that's 11.5" x 9.5" and the vendor above quoted me an 11.5" x 8" but told me the price is the same for the 11.5" x 9.5" and my question is - what are others using? Is there a difference? I'm leaning towards sticking with what worked for 39 years but interested to hear other's thoughts. Many thanks - bill |

Greetings all. Getting ready to launch when a wobble was noted on the propeller, and it seems after only 39 years that the internal rubber hub has decided to call it a day. I read the posts from Ron Waterson (pictures are unavailable alas) and Bill Layton (of departed memory) and went in search of a new Gori prop.
11.5" by 8" pitch, LH, for the Bukh 8SME and either Gori 2 blade noted below will work but the links are 404 errors now and the vendor doesn't seem to carry the Gori line any more Gori 2 Blade Folding Sail-Drive Propeller - DV8 Saildrive SKU APR GOR2BFSD8 Gori 2 Blade Folding Sail-Drive Propeller - DV10 Saildrive SKU APR GOR2BFSD10 Welcome any suggestions, guidance, insights, and recommendations from the community please to find a replacement. - bill
