Not knocking on your purchase or anything. Just making a statement.
Unless you are in competition of some sort, I never understood the point of buying a stainless prop for freshwater use. Saltwater will eat one up but, freshwater won't and in lakes and rivers you always run the risk of hitting a log, stump, rock, etc. One good hit with a stainless prop and you've just lost your whole lower unit! (heh-heh...I said "lower unit") An aluminum prop will sacrifice itself and do no damage to the transmission. I've had two instances in the past 20 years where the prop hit rocks when we thought we were in the clear. Both times, the prop folded-up like a tulip and did no other damage. A stainless prop would have probably snapped the output shaft or worse! Just my thoughts on the matter. Carry on.
