If you have a press, dial indicator and jig and lots of time you can get it straight. For about five hundred buck you can get a new one. Make sure you get a high performance one. Ron at RBProps.com (http://www.rbprops.com) gave me a good price. call around first:)

No no, with a bent propshaft, you have to sell the boat. B Boats with bent propshafts are not repairable. Give me a call, PM, or email and I'll take the boat off your hands for ya so you're not stuck with it:D :D ;) LOL

Just Messin' with ya Fred;) I got most of my B Boat stuff from Bergeron, but there's lotsa different places to get a propshaft. Just get a good one and be done with it, it would be too time consuming and probably not cost effective trying to straighten a propshaft. How's that boat coming along? Are you gonna have it in the water soon?
