    Should i take prop to a prop shop.

    The prop to my 50 hp yamaha has some dings on the outer edge of the blades. Should I take the prop to a prop shop to have it worked on, or should I replace it and keep this one as a spare.

    Aluminacraft C165 in saltwater yes/ no

    I bought a used 2010 Aluminacraft C165. It has a carpeted interior and has only been used in freshwater. Friends keep asking me to take it to Rockport for bay fishing. I like the idea, but don't want to damage my boat. The trailer is galvanized. Will I damage my toy if I put it in saltwater
