So I was wondering how much performance is effected by a damaged prop? I have a 13x19 prop with some bent edges and a 1/4"x1" chunk missing out of the leading edge of one blade. How bad might this effect the props performance? I am planning on getting a new prop but was thinking of keeping this one as is as a spare. Thanks.

Impossible to quantify.

Your plan is good. Replace this one new, and store this one as a spare. You don't need peak performance out of a spare prop....it just needs to help you finish an imperfect day.
