    Stainless steel prop

    I have a 20' Bentley with a 90hp Mercury 4 stroke. After one season of boating I banged up my stock aluminum prop pretty good in the Ohio river. My question is do I spend $300+ for a more durable SS prop? Or spend $100 to get another aluminum prop? I just hate to get the cheap one and have to...
