I'm actually playing around with some props in my shop. I had a prop that the original owner of the boat outfit had to hit something completely solid to damage the prop, lower foot section, and the hull. I since fixed everything and even hammered the prop back into reasonable shape again. However, I since purchased two other props one being a totally new one. But I;m thinking of making a prop backer bucking board like item from the new one so I can finish reshaping the bent one and then balance it with one of my lathes and dial indicator to insure perfect balance and just to see how it actually runs compared to the new one. Just some ideas floating around in my head... The actual sweep of the blades will be interesting to duplicate to make every one absolutely equal, but I like doing things like that. A math and mechanical challenge to me.
