Re: Stainless Prop or not?
IMHO, Stainless steel propos are good if you need the prop to withstand encounters with sand and muck. On the shallow bay where I boat, my I/O would hit bottom enough to chew up an alum prop each year. A SS prop solved that issue.
Other than that, you can find al props that are nearly as high performance as a SS one, at 1/3 the price.
So in your case, the answer is yes if you hit bottom often and chew up the prop. Be aware that your setup wil not gain too much with a SS prop, as they are best suited for high performance boats.
