Allen, I've got a C&C 26, but mine has a Yanmar 2GM20F with a 3 blade fixed, so it's not standard. It will drive it to hull speed. If it's any help, my original 1977 manual says standard engine in the C&C 26 was a Westerbeke Vire or an optional Yanmar SVE 8 diesel. Transmission was 2:1 reduction and the prop was an 11" x 7" RH 2 blade prop, or an optional 12" x 6" folding. (same props on both engines) (An interesting note at the bottom of the page says boats built in Niagara-on-the lake had 7/8" dia. propeller shaft and boat s built in Rhode Island had 3/4" dia. shafts)
