New bottom paint, props, shafts and struts

I hit a tree in 18' of water on Canyon Lake, TX. Had to do an insurance claim. It was time for a bottom paint anyways. Happy to have it back on the water.

Wow looks nice!!

What did you do with the old props? Did you have a good prop shop look at them to see if they can be reworked as a spare set? I'm amazed at what some of those guys can do.
