Jack-

Your search is asking for something that is hard to find "a used fresh O/H" prop. Most people will not spend the money for an O/H because its circa $1000 to get the 8130 and a logbook sticker. Better you should search for the length and pitch you want and purchase on the condition it will overhaul. That way you pay for the O/H and spend a lower purchase price for the prop.

Richard, Thanks for the info. Plan is now to get a new Sensenich wood prop. We'll be trying out some loaners to max out our newly MOH'd engine.
