The previous owner of my boat, had a prop in the bow compartment. I pulled it out and the pitch is correct and a very heavy prop i am guessing stainless steel (but it is painted black), but on one of the fins there is a ding. The current prop is not in that great of shape either.
I was told to hold onto it and it can be repair and it would be a lot better than what is already on the stern drive. 260 horse 5.7 liter with a OMC outdrive.

Any idea on what the average prop repair price is? and what is involved in the repair, I would think a filing down and a sharpening (maybe to repair the ding the bend it back or weld a new piece in there?) was interested in sending down to Florida to the person that Charlie T recommended here.
