The JOHNZUKI uses a V4 gearcase style prop(4" not the 4.5" V6), but I guess it uses a V6 prop shaft. Have you tryed a prop shop yet? I know these guys aint local to you, but they have done me right through the years, and are reasonable.

There also GENERAL PROPELLER down here, they do most of the rebuilds for most major shops(but ADMIRAL does more rebuilding, and repitching).

ON EDIT: I looked up the 140 in my MICHIGAN WHEEL catalog and you can use a B series XHS prop with a 126 adapter and have a wide array of different props to choose from.

All I've done so far is stop at a dealer and ask prices for ones that fit.

I think I will keep the one I have like it is as a spare and to use when the kids start waterskiing.

Since this one works ok, I am in no rush.

Speaking from personal experience here, SUZUKI props SUCK!!!! Go with an aftermarket MICHIGAN WHEEL, there much more reasonably priced and made from much better materials.

We made it down and back safe and sound.

The weather was not the best, but not bad for April. Monday it was cold and cloudy so I put the V in the water and went to work replacing the keel rollers and many rusted bolts holding on the bunks.

I suggest to anyone that has to replace this stuff on a saltwater used trailer, spend 50 bucks and get a cheep "saws all", it made easy work of getting the old stuff off.

Tuesday was sunny and windless (although still chilly) in the morning so we went fishing. We caught a boatload of Black Sea Bass, most were 11 "s, the new law says they have to be 12 "s to keep. We did get enough for a meal.

Calm waters on the way out.

Summer with a keeper!

By the afternoon the wind picked up and the seas built to around 3' with an occasional 4'er thrown in for fun but the V handled it great.

Wednesday it rained so we went to the Fort Fisher Aquarium via the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry.

Then we had birthday cake for the old man.

Thursday it was 80 and sunny but the wind was blowing 20 -30 kts. We went to the beach for an hour but quickly tired of the constant sandblast.

Then it was pack it up and ride back home.

Looks can be deceiving. I tried out several chairs @ West Marine and Boaters World while in Wilmington, the Wise Ladderback was almost wide enough, I think it will work if I bend the arms out a little.
