Doesn’t look too terrible, if you are not getting a lot of cavitation (port pump?) probably okay to just file/smooth the edge up a bit.

Agree with @swatski - does not look too bad.

Did you pull it due to cavitation? If so, filing the edge a bit or gently pounding it out just a bit would be worth a shot before replacing it. If you are not having any cavitation symptoms, you might want to just leave it alone. Make sure to look at both impeller blades and pump surfaces to make sure you don't have any cavitation-related metal erosion.

Good luck!

Pulled out because of impeller housing swelling.
No cavitation at all on any rpm, but top speed lower than before
