I was thinking about a stainless steel prop , but I have seen the kind of damage can be done to your lower unit if you hit an object HARD . were an alumin prop's blades flex and break off the stainless props are much stronger and do a lot of damage.

Like so many other issues in boating, it's a compromise either way...
