The 3A12 for the Cessna 172 says that for the Connie O300 A & B engine with the McCauley 1A170 propeller max diameter 76 inches min is 74.5 inches.
Keep your speed up, Blackhawk on final behind you.

Have your prop cover made 80 inches. It's only two inches longer on each end and it will fit either the standard 76 inch prop or the 80 inch "seaplane" prop. You'll never notice the extra length on the shorter prop yet it will fit either prop you may put on the plane in the future.
