Bad day boating...need some help

It is grey or platinum. The dark lighting is probably causing the distortion.

It is platinum. The lighting is distorting the color a bit.

A prop repair place should be able to straighten and repair the skegs. It cost me about $100 to have it done on my old boat.

i would repair your prop for about 70 bucks and as i have heard they are better than new after being reworked and then try to bend skegs back .

Usually a prop repair is typically 40-50% of what the prop new costs. So if the prop retails for $500 you typically would pay around $250 to get it reworked. That has been my experience over the years when trying to have a quality prop re-worked It is not cheap and at times the re-worked prop will give you vibration and cavatation issues. Once one was bent up I would re-work it and then turn into the spare and make the spare the primary prop until it needs rework. This assumes the spare prop was a fresh prop.

Is that mushroom or platinum interior? Does anyone else think the platinum interior looks tan now instead of grey?

I think it looks tan in pictures. Even the build your tige makes it look like mushroom color.

Thomas Marine Propeller did my last prop for $170 and restored the prop back to Acme standards . They did a AWESOME job and I would go back again. I does seem a little more expensive than others have stated but it was the cheapest in town. Also, you should talk with SPBFan and see what he can do for you also.

do you have pics of your skegs?

[rushin]

Kinda plain jane but nice

I think it is classy looking, I like it!

I believe they are lag-bolted

Mine are not lag-bolted, there are lock nuts on bolts. I think they also have a backing plate.

This is a covered loss by insurance as long as you have coll coverage on your boat. You need to check the strut and have your shaft mic'd to see if it is bent. I am assuming you are calling the rudder a skeg it can be repaired or replaced depending on impact sustained. Same goes w/the prop. I would check the mount point of you strut and rudder for spider cracking of the fiber.
I would also check around the prop, sometimes the shaft will flex upon impact and cause the prop to damage the bottom of the boat.

My approx w/o fiber would be in the area of $2k for repairs.

yeah dont repalce prop just have it fixed or you could buy a new one and fix old as a spare if you thik this could be a common thing it does happen and its never bad to have a spare. prop repairs range on amount of damage to prop i have seen them from $75-$175 for the repair. shaft should be checked to make sure it did not get bent.

Here is the damage

Here are pics of the damage. My buddy is picking up the tab. I did not want to put an insurance claim in because if I have another claim I may get dropped. It looks like it will be under $1k

Also, thanks for all the help, much appreciated.
