The Yamaha Tech line told me that the one like you are describing are called "Black Steel" which have "SOME"" stainless in them. They paint the prop to keep them from rusting, but we all know what happens when the paint wears off. Yamaha polished stainless props cost the same so I don't know why the dealer chose the Black Steel. Also the F-150 (4 stroke) has a v-6 gearcase so yes the prop from the 200 will work. Your friend might want to look for the biggest diameter that he can get to help prevent blow outs.
