I have found that a lot of marinas to stock "commonly used" props. You may find better luck hitting an Evinrude dealer they may have what you need. I believe Thurston's is the "local" dealer of them on Winni. Haggett's Marine in Concord NH is also an Evinrude dealer and arguably a more reputable outfit IMHO.

Far as the spitfire prop I just put one on my new boat (Merc 60HP Command Thrust), I had to jump the pitch to get the WOT RPMs down. Works great and interestingly enough did not see a huge hit in the hole shot which I attribute to the fact the old prop was three blades versus the 4 on the spitfire.

The hub assembly on those spitfires is separate from the prop itself so you have to make sure you get the correct assembly for the outboard application. If you order one they sell them either with or without a hub assembly. The hub assembly can also be purchased separately.
