Thanks Phil, for your Facebook marketplace suggestion and estimate on the price.

Since the title of the post is repowering, can you also please recommend a stainless prop?

I ordered a Mercury 90-HP Command Thrust from a local dealer. I saw on another post (http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...ost_167591) a recommendation of a 21P Enertia for a 115-HP Pro XS Command Thrust, and I know they have the same gear ratio/case.

The Mercury online calculator recommended the Enertia Eco in the 20-22P range, assuming I choose acceleration or overall good performance as a goal. I had already been leaning towards an Enertia or Enertia Eco anyway, so I'm hoping between the Mercury calculator and your earlier recommendation for the 115-HP Command Thrust, that the Enertia Eco in 21P would also be a good choice for the 90-HP Command Thrust.

Thanks!
