Sure. I keep a spare aluminum prop for a solo limp. Won't plane with a single 25", but will plane with a single 17" with no sweat. Not even hard on parts with that low of a pitch.

I'm pretty sure, a couple weeks ago, sydwayz said he got up on one with the Monsoon 37AVH And I don't remember him mentioning any prop swaps either. Maybe he'll chime in....

I lost one @90mph and keep it on plane at 50 until I got back to the marina. I knew once I got off plane it would be a long idle back in 95 degree weather. My problem was a loose coil wire.
I heard about people that did the same as mcollinstn. Carry a spare that is 8" - 20" less pitch. It doesn't matter with rotation as you can run either shifter backwards if need be.
