Good Prop Shop Near Delaware

[johnebquick]

As most of you know, I have been working on my outboard after destroying my lower unit and trying to get the boat back in the water before too much summer has past and for as little dammage to the back pocket as possible. I think I have everything in order but ( I'M IN NEED OF A GOOD PROP SHOP ! !) close to home around Delaware. With a different gearcase and smaller prop shaft I'm back to square one with the prop size I should use. I dont know if the gear change will turn the prop faster or slower, Or is the gear change to accomidate for the larger prop shaft and heaver props? I now can only run a 14.5 Dia. prop at max. I was running a 15 x 17 but turning too fast around 5900Rpms (Thank you ProHeat for the tip) So where is a good place to start? I would like to be able to find a prop shop that will let me try it before I buy it. 21ft6in CC total weight 2800-3000Lbs with a Evinrude 120Hp outboard. I'm thinking about a 14.5 x 19 or a 14.5 x 21. I know prop sizes can be a guessing game with soo many variables, just want a logical place to start.

Thanks
