Ive been driving on the damaged prop, but I havnt notice any of the
vibrations that everyone talks about. My speed is definitly decreased but
its still as smooth as when it wasnt damaged.


I would advise you to stop driving on that damaged prop and get it
repaired/replaced ASAP. You may not be feeling the vibrations but I can
assure you that it is happening, unless you were really lucky and managed to
damage all the blades equally.

If the prop is not in reasonable balance (and even thrust from all the
blades) then the prop shaft will have side loads that it was not designed to
handle. This will eventually wear out bearings and/or seals and can lead to
much bigger problems down the road.
