 What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? I have two props from my 25 GD LT that have wore about 2 inches off of them. Is there anything that you guys do with them other then scrap them? That is the only thing I can think of other than trying to sell them to someone that has a smaller motor that needs a smaller prop? Is there anyone out there that will credit them towards a new prop purchase? Thanks for the help.

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? Most will send them off to be re-built. I think it costs about half the price of a new one to have it re-built.
Go Devils site has a cost calculation for rebuilding a prop.
I don't know the names, but there are a few prop shops that have been talked about on here.

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? Baumann Marine here in Houston will add back in diameter & re-balance for you... They have seen a stock Gator-Tail blade & also do work on Go-Devil & MB props. You MUST specifiy what your wanting. They are about $60+ for welding & $40 for labor etc

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? My In laws good friend works for mercury in Fon DuLac Wi. and does all their prop work so I just send him mine and he does it for pretty cheap. I have been impressed at how well they hold up might not be like brand new but sure is alot cheaper. I run through about 3-4 in a year so It makes it nice to have somone do that.... SAND IS THE DEVIL

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? There is a go devil dealer in houston called north shore marine. When I bought my boat there they told me that they have someone that they send it to that will weld new blades to it and make it like new.

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? Now how well do these Re-worked props last? I am certain they wont last as long the stock material.

Re: What do you do with old PROPS that are worn? I'm not sure how long it will last.. I will tell ya this I put my reworked one next to a brand new one and can't tell the difference. I guess if it even last half as long its still cheaper then always buying new ones. I have had my reworked one on the boat for about a week now and still in great shape after runnon it hard the last 3 nights..
