Shreddy...

The boats are apples & oranges. You have an older single prop outdrive, he has a newer dual prop outdrive. There is no upgrade path for you (short of a complete replacement of propulsion system). OMC has been out of business for years. Changing the propeller is not going to gain you much if anything. The dual prop setup from both Volvo & Mercruiser are much better setups. If you like your boat and its in great shape, you can have it repowered to a newer dual prop setup. My guess is that will run you about $20K...
