Just trying to see in there is any interest in my old prop. It is factory Volvo prop off my 07 H200SS. Stainless. Only has one ding in it, but the polish is rather scratched up. Bought boat used and it was this way. I am ordering a new one as I am very anal about these things. Works perfect. Just want to see if there are any reasonable offers for it otherwise I will keep it as a back up. |

I would suggest that you have it reconditioned. Most believe that a fresh factory prop is the best but in reality they are not the most accurate regarding pitch they are supposed to be. A FW dealer that also sells Mastercraft has new props sent in and fixed to the pitch they should be. I had the props on my 288 when they were in the first months of their life "balanced and reconditioned" and it made a world of difference. There was no damage to the props at all. I noticed a difference when I installed the fuel flow monitoring system. The port and starboard engine were burning at different rates. Port was always slightly higher. After both sets came back and pitched the same the engine burn was dead equal between port and starboard. If they get reconditioned, you maybe happy and have saved some $s. You can always keep the old prop as a spare if you still believe you need a new prop. A spare prop is always a good idea to have on hand. |

Most places are about the same price to recondition a stainless prop as it is to get a new one. |

My local boat dealer does mine (actually a shop in Tampa that picks them up and does the work) and charges me $225 for a repair to my set of duoprops. They straighten, fix dings, balance and polish on both the inner and outer props. So that works out to $112.50/prop |

Sounds like a good deal. Guy at work had is fixed and it cost him almost $400.00 and they didn't polish it. |

07H200SS - I sent a PM for a place that I used to recondition my aluminum prop, may be worth a call for the stainless. |

These guys have done all my prop work.... http://midwestpropeller.com/ Then again, ever since switching to SS a few years back, I've never had to get a prop worked on. |

Yeah I have a local place here tht does awesome work on aluminum props cheap, but not stainless. Well you guys are probably right. Going to hang on to this one for a spare. Probably never need it as I know the lakes around me pretty well now. |
