You will thank yourself after purchasing a stainless prop. I liken it to having an automatic transmission rebuilt. There was so much slip in the bad one that the new one makes both the performance and gas mileage improve. Also, right now is a good time to install a tachometer on your console. It is the opinion of many that most every boat needs one, especially when searching for the right prop. I was blessed to have a local prop shop that would let me try several props before I found the best one for my application.
I compleatly agree with you on using a stainless prop. However if the old man hit what ever he hit with a stainless prop we would be buying a lower end as well. Also not his first rock pile. Im just trying to get it a little better than what it was. The boat really does not get used much any more. Maybee 15 gallons of gas/year.
