Hammer and dolly smooth then file off the burrs.
Not worth sending out, you're just going to pay someone to Hammer and dolly smooth then file off the burrs

Gup I have a guy in Dartmouth who does exceptional work for a reasonable price he actually uses a computer program to bring prop back to 100% pitch

You probably wanna have that thing dealt with professionally. Balancing the prop is an important step you might not be able to do on your own. Think of the stress you're putting on gears, seals, etc. with that thing out of whack. Ever have a tire out of balance? It's harmful to your car. Same goes for an unbalanced prop on a boat. A good thing might be to buy a new prop and have the old one refinished. Now you have a spare. From my experiences you might expect to pay between 80 and $100 to refurb.

Guppy Thats a funny looking depth finder ...

would swapping out to a cheaper alum prop for claming be a better choice or more of a pain to swap out for the amount of time you go ?

I've used a guy in Middletown RI to recon my props. Let me know if you want me to dig out his name and number.

Doesn't look too bad to me, I'd do what the freak suggests

This is what I was going to say as well. Pretty sure you can get a new prop on iboats for about $100

yes, I'm happy to say
Rec is Sunday's only with a 10 qt. limit.... Haven't been in a couple weeks but had my fill this fall. Boats getting wrapped next week so I'm done, although I may try and row to the cove I dig at.

It's not hard to have a lot of company on Sunday's ,,, they come out of the woodwork ,,, LOL ��
