Yes and Yes...
Prop: When you bend and/or chip a prop, the prop will be out of balance, thus when spinning there will be vibration, and the amount of vibration would be dependent on how badly the prop has been dinged.
Skeg: In most cases, a bent or chipped skeg will cause steering torque of some sort.. More issue for you in turning than anything else.
Tires: If they are wearing on the inside edge, I would be wondering if the axles are not perfectly level with the earth. If they are not level, the wear on the inner portion of the tire would lead me to believe the axles are bent up on the outside as compared to the main beam between the axles.
I rotated my tires this past year to help try and extend the life of the tires since I had one tire wearing on the inside and the other was just fine. Switched them out, and found the tire that wore on the inside was actually out of round.
