Here are the pics of my prop. hit a rock running around 4000 rpm. no other apparent damage, and amazing only lost 1mph off of cruising speed. alot of questions, especially considering my previous ones around top speed. first off:
*repair or replace prop? i have heard both, i think i will see if this can be repaired, and then also buy new in the spring
*Lower Unit? no new noise or damage other than a nick in the skag (sp). i need the toons cleaned and a marina here will pull the boat. i will have them check it and see.

**top speed. these pics show more of the numbers on the prop than the damage. the point is this is a 14.5 x 15. I assume the 15 is the pitch. the previous owner was a big skier and wanted hole shot above anything else. i also assume this prop traded top end for low end to that end. so a larger pitch will go the other way? what is a good middle choice?
Thank You! DT
