Default Big props in the UK (or elsewhere if necessary)

Guys my bag is airboats, but we are like hens teeth and I need some advice that's unlikely to be found in the airboat section....

I need a prop for a 160cc Honda motor, 5.5hp (GX160). To date I can only find a 20" two blade resonably readily available, which I've had good results from on a Honda 31cc motor (GX31), but I need much bigger for this one, preferably three blade to keep the diameter down.

Any ideas please?

Mezjlik makes carbon fiber 3bladed props that would be ideal or airboat operations. They sell many sizes and pitch to suit your needs.

Another idea may be to look into the "ultralight aircraft" hobby and see what turns up ?
