I have a 6 1/2 hp Acadia Make n Break but no shaft and prop. I am wondering if the shaft and prop from a 8 hp Acadia will be suitable?

In a pinch it will work just fine - the big thing is the prop. It might bog your 6 1/2 HP engine down a bit, but not enough to worry too much. It is better to load the engine down than to have it over-rev.
