Stan - you can use the newer Mercruiser props on your OMC outdrive. The ones with Flo-Torq hub assembly. You just need to get the OMC hub adapter from the Mercruiser dealer.
Sorry to hear about the Oregon Lakes. That really bites. Can you still go up to Washington lakes like Merwin and Yale near Mt. St. Helen?

Donzi installs a 23"x14 5/8 Mirage Plus on the new 22s. Since you have a 1.43 to 1 gear ratio instead of Mercs 1.5 to 1, I would try a 21" Mirage Plus or a 22 OMC Raker.
Does the OMC have a rev limiter? If I use a 22 Raker on the Merc I hit the revlimiter @ 4750RPMs. Max reccommended RPMs on my 1995 454Mag are 4600.
