76 vw rabbit. Had the service records on it from day one. Little old lady was religious on having it serviced
paid 500.00 with 250k miles on it. put another 100k on it. Replaced points and rotor and a half shaft. The clutch finally went on it. Traded it for a Pontiac fiero. Remember those?
First…..if the current prop is in bad shape it will be difficult to know if you have the correct prop. You need to try running a wide open throttle and check RPM. There are many websites giving you the range of pitch and blade you’ll need. Do some research.

many factors to consider here.
how old is the boat? You didn’t mention that
where was it kept? In Water or trailer?

as mentioned tanks rot from the outside in. It’s a bear to remove but safety is paramount. To be super sure remove tank. Inspect for pitting , pressure test if all...
It’s a light boat. Loading is gonna be an issue. Current, wind not withstanding. When loading get a feel for the drift BEFORE going for the trailer. Often times watch those that are loading before you.

I’m glad it wasn’t worse than it was.
400.00 is much less than the thousands of insurance costs it would have been if the boat took a dump at 80 mph. It’s a relatively easy job to replace the axel. No real special tools required either. Glad you and your rig survived.
As others said ...
If you put marks on them you should be in the ballpark. Plenty of you tube videos out there to adjust your senders without a gauge.
are your senders in okay condition?
