ruined or repairable?

well at the end of the day, we were just idling along and go to close to the wing dam. does this look repairable or is it new prop time? Upload

yeah its repairable, that one blade looks pretty bad but a good prop guy can fix that up, i would recomend buying a new one after its fixed though, and keep that one as a spare

Make sure to check the shaft for straightness with a dial indicator. That was a pretty hard hit. Did the rudder get hit at all? Also make sure the strut is not bent.

If you did want to buy a new prop, there is improved technology available. Nothing wrong with fixing it though.
