How often are there prop issues ?
Often enough.
Speaking from experience, if there is a problem and you don't sink the boat, it will be expensive. There will of course be the prop and a prop shaft along with probably a bent strut, shaft log, damage to the V-Drive itself and a lost weekend and the time it takes to repair the boat and everything else.
How likely is hard to say, but the more power you make and the harder you play with the boat are big factors. It also depends on the quality of your original parts.
Checking things only makes good sense. Most working parts have a limited life and most of these boats are 10- 20- 30- 40 years old and considered performance boats. Don't think that because it's been good for 20 or 30 years, it'll last forever.
That's my opinion.
