When having a prop rebuilt, I always reccomend doing them in pairs. Many shops use universal dies to shape the blades which can be good or bad. Many times a certain size of prop can comein 20 different blade types, or more. You really need to have a prop rebuilt on a die made for just that specific prop, but that can mean a prop shop must buy 20 different dies in every pitch size. This can add up to thousands of dies, so they use universal dies to use to rebuild, shape, and contour the blade. It only takes the slightest of differences in prop design to completely change how a prop works or even how the boat rides. Having both props done at the same time means they can at least make them both similiar. You may even benefit from a prop swap. For a big boat like that with big v-6 2 strokes, it would do well with a set of mirage plus large diameter props. It would help out with prop hookup down low, and they lift the stern pretty well to help plant the bow down which helps in thechop to keep the sharp part of the v bow doing it's job instead of running bow high and slamming the flatter hull bottom.
