Default prop needed

I have this old boat (been told its an eco, if that means anything) and a couple weeks ago the prop broke.

I took a stab in the dark and bought a prop for the traxxas blast. I got lucky and it bolted on!

Problem is, its a thin peice o crap and chipped already (1st time out)

Id like a metal prop, but didnt see any on ebay that screw on.

Id also kinda like one that has alittle more pitch than the traxxas prop. but I wasnt able to find specs on the blast's prop.

So I need a screw on prop, like the one pictured. anyone got any ideas?

For a correct answer , we need to know :

What's the diameter (from blade-tip to blade-tip) of the prop ?

And what is the threads in the prop ? Metric (M4 or M5) or Imperial?

Eco i believe is a brand>>> https://astecmodels.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=2_88Hendric is right take some pics and measurements. and to be honest ive never seen a metal prop that is threaded but if your prop stub is threaded and long enough you may be able to add a drive dog+regular prop+prop nut if you know the threading or buy couple different threading/sizes to figure out which fits.

A different size of drive dog, prop inner diameter or adapter such as 1/8 to 3/16 fitting for a 1/8 shaft and 3/16 in. prop and the prop locking nut with the same size/threading as your shaft. If your handy enough with tools or just know how you may be able to thread the side of a metal prop and still attach a prop nut for extra precaution of it coming loose with out a drive dog but its your boat and my suggestion keep us updated i see that boat is small you could make it a little power house check this out>>>

Could be a Robbe Eco, in which case it will likely be an M4 thread.
