Prop for my 1962 Big M

Where do I buy a prop? Althouse seems to still be out if commission. It's a 30' with AMC 327. Still in the water and I don't wanna pull it out without having a prop to put on it so I need the right prop pitch, etc.
Thanks!

Any local propeller shop should have what you need. 14x10 rh 1" tapered shaft.

I'm in Iowa. Docked on the Mississippi. What does your friend run for a prop?

He runs the same as mine 14x10. You still have the sidedraft carbs on your motor? His has been changed to a 2 barrel at some point.

Mine was converted to 2 barrel also. I do have the side draft manifolds/carbs though.
