Whether it is painted, or has four blades, has nothing to do with being "stock".
The Painted Stainless Steel model form Yamaha is a good propeller model. It is the ONLY model of stainless steel propeller Yamaha offers that is not made in the USA by the PPI Inc. division of Yamaha.
The Painted Stainless Steel model also has a unique semi-cleaver blade design with modest rake. It is good for stern lift and faster than most people think.
For the F70 and all the other intermediate size gearcase motors, there are five different models of propellers to choose from branded as Yamaha.
