prop damage

[ashh]

ok I know I need a new prop. And this one will become a spare.
When I first bought the boat the prop was pretty chunked up, but I had my own little woopsy off the north tip of big woody island at hervey bay back at easter.
Fortunately I was only doing around 4-6 knots, but the rock was solid :-X and the tip of the prop bent quite radically towards the stern.
I did manage to knock the bend out and get it reasonably straight, but it had a hairline crack.
That part is now gone who knows where and am wondering will it do any other damage to bearings or shafts? by it being posibly out of balance now.
Am I right to use it in the meantime or should I wait and get a newy on asap?

It'll be on the asap list if it was mine.
Either new or repaired but I'd definitely wouldn't leave it like that.
Sorry :(
