Starboard impeller looks a little rough on two leading edges third edge looks good The port impeller looks to be in pretty good shape as well I've only had Volvo dual Penta props I think these look plenty fine to run but just want to get a second opinion I really don't have any cavitation but want to make sure I have enough bite. We surfed all last season no real issues, plan on really tweaking the surfing this year to do that most of the time. would changing these impellers change that at all..I think they are fine..but 2nd opinions and help.

I am really surprised you don't have cavitation. I would replace them and have these rebuilt for spares.

Spares always good to have best place and brand to buy..kinda thinking oem? Dont care about top speed. Just bite..any other parts to replace while got it torn out??
 
I would service the bearings while it is out. A number of us have converted to a slurry of grease and gear oil. Search @Bruce for his write up.
I can only tell you my opinion but I would purchase the OEM impellors from YamahaSportsPlaza or other reputable dealer.
