Is prop repair cost effective?

[HURRICANEBOB]

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.

http://www.a1discountprop.com/michpromo.htm Try this Bob. I think you will be very surprised at their prices. I bought one earlier in the year and saved $40 compared to local prices. I think I found yours for $67.

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.

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.
