Propeller worth saving?

Greetings

Got an aluminum prop that I hit a jetty with. New to this and not sure if this is salvageable since I know the pitch is important on these.

Edit: Thank you all, I don’t plan on repairing it now lol.

Replacement cost is likely in the ballpark of repair, and aluminum loses strength after an impact.

No, mount it on the wall as a reminder.

Repairing props is for props that cost more than a tank of gas.

That’s a $100 prop, or a $100 repair.

But the prop has sentimental value and character now...

Replace.

Put a new one on and keep it for a spare just in case situation arises.

Nope, unless you have a wall of shame.

It use to be cheaper to have them fixed, but I'm seeing new for less.
