As a point of reference, you can get a new Stiletto Advantage 1, with the required DE-500 hubkit, shipped to your door for $261.95. A 13.25 x 13 would be perfect for your application, and will perform much better and last much longer than any aluminum prop. You may be able to find a used one cheaper - I sold one last year to a guy who's using it on a Montauk.
It looks like the Yamaha aluminum props can be had online for about $150, which is indeed cheaper. I'm still not understanding why after spending many thousands on a new motor and rigging, someone wouldn't spend just a little more to get it to perform optimally. But of course it is your choice.
