Welcome to Iboats,

Assume you haven't tached that engine while lightly loaded at wot before bending it right ? If so, would be a wild and costly guessing answer as you need to know if the prop was spinning inside safe wot rpm range for that engine. Usually factory deliverd props performs well on light to medium light applications. If it were my case would go for same diam/pitch factory delivered prop and go from there if in a near future if wanting a prop maximization to best suit my boating needs.

Wht don't you send that prop to a prop shop and have it repaired, if not too costly can go from there taching the engine and going from there if a prop maximization is required. Probably a much cheaper option than replacing prop with same new one and going from there.

Happy Boating
