If you're just looking for a spare set, don't be afraid to look at some sizes a little smaller or larger than what you have. They may not be ideal, but they could allow you to operate the boat while you get your primaries repaired back to spec (or replaced if it came to that).
I bought a set for my boat for ~$250. They were from an older Chris-Craft and were three blade instead of four, and 2" smaller in pitch. But the shaft size was the same. I was able to use them twice after I damaged my main set in the middle of two different seasons. Was able to use the backup ones for the rest of the season and put the mains back on in the offseason. The boat was never really out-of-service other than a quick haul to change the props, and I could take my time getting the mains addressed.
