I have a Yamaha SWS II prop I'm thinking about selling. Its a 15.5x17 SS 3 blade prop.

I can't buy a new one until I sell this one.

Its in great shape with no dings or other defects.

Any idea as to what I should ask for it?

Re: used prop pricing

Typically 1/2 new price for used (+or- depending on condition), 3/4 for rebuilt.

Re: used prop pricing

I've found it to be just the other way in my case...about 1/2 for a rebuilt and 75-90% for a well maintained used or tested prop, but in near perfect condition.
Depends on the buyer and how you word it...don't talk it up unless you know they will agree with you on condition.
-0- scratches, no dings, highly polished, no pits, etc...to the right person it's worth a great amount more.
I give a money back offer if it's not as good or better than described.
