Had it been stainless, then he'd be replacing more than a prop. My theory has always been to stay aluminum if I am running in shallows or rocky areas.

I have heard that too Boatnluvr. Aluminum will give whereas stainless will not as easily. Thus, with aluminum you get a severely boogered prop if you hit something, but less (if any) damage to the gearcase.

Stainless for me as well.
I've dented my SS prop a few times, nothing major just a few dents here and there. An aluminum prop would have been destroyed or badly damaged like that one.
