What do you make of this prop

Besides a very large paper weight or a small anchor?

PS it was like that when I bought the boat.

Really, that's good news, I would have thought it was shot.
I couldn't get it to you but at least I got you to look at it.
Is there anyone ya'll know who repairs props?

Do you think it is bad enough to cause damage to the motor due to vibration?
The carb needles were not nice and round on the ends, the manual I have says that prop vibration will do that to them.

looking at it wrong, you have barely enough to cause some vibration, cheapest thing to do is have it repaired first, if not then take a grinder or sander and make the other two blades have about that much missing, but would cost more when you do have it repaired, is one or more of the blades bent bad, if they are out of pitch that will cause much more vibration than a small amount missing from a blade........ I only know of the guy down on 7 hwy called S&W Prop repair just before you get to rackett mo..... I have had him put in a new hub on mine and he treated me fair......

Thanks, I'll look closer to see if there is anything bent, don't seem to be just looking.
I might give this outfit a call.

Have did bussiness with Walt for years when he had the machine shop and now with the prop shop. Super nice guy. He upgraded my prop hub to a type that will hold up better to the horsepower of a bigger motor than the press in hub it had. Also now I can change out the hub myself if needed. No extra charge.
