Re: question about ss prop
stainless is much "stronger" than aluminum. At high RPMs aluminum will "bow" or distort under the torque of the engine-ss wil be "stronger" and less flexable with less distortion. Your engine will be more efficient, and you will go faster (provided it is a high HP engine). The down side is that ss is not very forgiving. If you hit bottom, or a stump or a log with AL prop you will simply tear up or destroy the prop, with ss you run the risk of tearing up the gears of the lower unit. I have run a ss prop for the last 12 years (ran AL for 8 years before that), you just do not want to make a mistake with ss (vis a vie AL).
