Charlie,S.S props are nice but if you run your boat where you can hit something,I would think about it, a S.S. Prop won't bend or break a aluminum prop will and save your lower unit , just my 2 cents

I know my home waters pretty good. No flats or surprises. Unless there’s a submerged hazard somewhere…. It’s all pretty much open water for me.

Charlie, I agree with Step, SS is the way to go. You never know what's in the water, that you, we can't see. I know bucks are really hard today, but if you can swing it, go for it.
Waiting for your fishing pictures!!!!!

The guy I bought my V from owns the local prop shop. It had an aluminum prop on it when I got it, which surprised me. He said he would rather break a 100 dollar prop than a five hundred dollar lower unit.

....back when lower units cost $500. LMAO! :fam:

yep 30 years ago

aluminum props were $100 too

he still owns the prop shop!!
