I have a spin off question........ I Just boat a 94 Chaparral it has an SS
Prop, there is a little ding in it from my first time out (runnin into a
rock) nothing major. I really don't know if something "feels" wrong being a
new boat driver and all. I got an estimate to get it reconditioned / take
the ding out and it was about $140-190. That seems high, right? Any
suggestions? The boat drives fine, but again i really wouldn't know what to
look for if something was off.

I have an aluminum prop that came with my boat and has been on the boat
for
the past two years. The engine and the prop have about 220 hours. I have
been fortunate enough to avoid ever running aground or dinging the prop on
any underwater objects, thus is is in good condition and only shows
minimal
wear.

Should I still have the prop reconditioned?? Is it possible that after
enough normal use, the prop can lose shape and still be in need of
service?
I am not having any problems but I was just wondering.

Thanks in advance for any opinions.
