Hi Jim, Wyanokee is a standard '86. There's been discussions over the years so I think you'll probably get a number of recommendations and discussion from others. We sail and race on Penobscot Bay in the Gulf of Maine where the leading industry is lobstering. I bought a Martec to replace the standard three bladed prop. I couldn't live without it! Prior to putting it on the boat we were catching lobster pots every time we went out. Now, we sail right through the floats and lines and don't give it a thought; in fact, I don't think we've caught a pot since putting it on in 2003. If you contact Martec (they have a website) they will tell you what you will need as they have the specifications for the boat. It will increase your speed under sail perhaps as much as half a knot. Under power we may loose as much as half a knot; it hasn't been a problem and I frankly haven't noticed any difference. You should be able to install it without modification.
Good luck!
