Hey guys so when I bought my boat on the test drive, long story short they screwed up the prop, the guy had the stock prop and threw it on so that's what I have on it now.... He gave me the one that's dinged up and took some money off so I could repair it... My question is if It's worth it to repair it or if I should just get a new one ... It's goin on a 1998 Sanger DLX

A) A spare prop is always good to have.
B) If it's a different pitch it may be better for running loaded.
C) Repairing an old prop is typically always cheaper than buying a new one.

This prop is much better than the stock one for what I want to do (wakeboarding, heavy ballast) but a local boat shop told me they don't think it's repairable? That's weird to me but I mean what are your guys thoughts

Send it to Murphy's Prop shop in Norfolk, VA. Mine looked worse than yours and they did an amazing job repairing it! Cost was about $130 total. Here's their link:

I would think any prop is repairable. It ultimately goes back to the cost of repairing over a full replacement. I bought a cheap prop to use as a spare and it had chunks missing, rough edges, and parts peeled back. Getting it repaired was still less than half of new.

I agree with Red & Brian.....go else where.

Yea, that should be easily repairable. Another great shop is PropMD (www.propmd.com ) up in Minnesota. They've done awesome with a couple of my repairs through them, and their turn-around time is extremely fast even in the prime of summer.
