Translate that to "worth a crap".
If you got a 13.25X 17 aluminum 3 blade prop that cost $114 new, and its dinged up and tweaked a little, and ya had it for 5 years, is it worth fixing or are just better off replacing it.
Whats a good prop job cost? Who does decent work. Last one I sent out came back like the guy "straightened it" with vice grips and painted it with a paint roller.
At $114 buy a new one.
At $200+ repair.
Only cost me 70.00 at Tuckers in indiana and he made mine better that new.Mines stainless if yours is aluminum it might be cheaper.
Precision Propellor here in Indianapolis repairs any aluminum prop for $50. It's where all the dealers send there work. Takes 4 days. They do have a web site.
it'll cost you $ 70.00 at Proper Props in Bronston but it will be as good as new .Thats roughly $45.00 you can put in the gas tank.

Tucker's is a great shop and does A-Number-One work. No, he's not my Uncle. Had some skegg work done there and was very pleased with the result.

YES $50 IN Chandler IN TO ;)
no alum props are not worth repairing if you can't do it yourself with a hammer and vice grips. Buy a SS prop and keep the alum as a spare.
