Default prop to rebuild? or not to rebuild?

What he said.


That's what I was thinking, Tom. A quality rebuild should be as good
as a new one, I know. Especially if done by a reputable prop shop.
But I was wondering about the metals when they weld them back, if they
are prone to be weak.

probably not.

I know I won't be going back to stainless. I learned an expensive
lesson on my CC 169, when I hit a log. the hub didn't break loose when
I hit a log or something, and it busted the gears in my lower end.

But the prop survived! ?:
