I would be very cautious even using the boat motor with the prop looking like that. I'm betting you've got bigger problems like a bent prop shaft on the motor.

I hit a rock last year that dinged one blade and it bent my prop shaft, I'm betting you did more damage to your shaft than I did just by the look of your prop. Put the aluminum one on, then spin the prop, if you see any wiggle in the prop, or see that it's not going around straight, then you have a bent prop shaft. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if it's bent, I wouldn't be putting to much of a load on the motor.
