I did notice prop chatter at the low speeds that I didn't have with the aluminum.

A general rule of thumb is that you always drop a notch when you switch from Aluminum to Stainless, due to the flex of the prop blades. So a 17P Alum is equal to a 15P stainless.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
