i have a prop shaft from a bravo one that is bent 20 thousandths. I'm looking into taking it to a machinist and having it straightened. I already fixed the drive with a different shaft. My question is, is my shaft worth anything once i get it straightened or at least i will keep it as a spare.

If it bent once, it will bend again. Send it to the dump.

Have you ever seen a prop shaft break?? The prop has a tendency to go where it shouldnt.. But they end up at the bottom of the lake.. Now my thought is.. prop is worth more than saving a prop shaft... They can also go up before they go down,, then it makes a mess out of the case, etc, etc.
I would not trust a straightened shaft. I would not reuse, it just isnt worth it..
