Just very thankful there wasn't any other damage. Prop while not cheap is an easy fix.

So the OJ sent a new brass key with the prop, SC had a steel key in the original prop. I put the brass key in as I think its a nice bit of added protection for the shaft, what do you all think on that one?

Dollars to donuts I bet your trailer bunks were way too deep. The only way for prop strike is that or coming in way too hot and going sideways cutting across the trailer. Your trailer fenders should barely be under water, like an inch or 2, pull the boat on, let it settle, then either back in further or use the strap and some power to load the rest of the way. Glad Eric took care of you, he is the best!
