Easy repair.
Just send it back to Mercury and have a new blade welded on.

"It will function fine if RPM's are kept below 2000rpm - only slight vibration."

What?! My three blade didn't plane fast enough and the four blade was killing top end.... this seemed like the perfect compromise! Lol

I've had one like that mounted to the wall above my woodstove in the garage for years, never realized there was a market for it. It's only an old 23p 3 blade , maybe I will ask $175.

Mike the price should be a little less because its only a 3 blade and 1/3 blade. Its a faster prop overall because less friction and drag of a third blade only cutting thru the water. All makes sense to me. I bet its a fast as hell prop.

And for the unbalance vibrations felt --- take it to tire depot and have it computer spin balanced. They have all kinds of lead stick weights. Problem solved
