[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 406235, member: 7544"] A lot of people around here use SS props on 20-25hp motors. Mostly duck hunters it seems, but I still use one and I quit duck hunting several years ago. IMO if you run over rocky bottoms or are prone to encountering underwater rocks frequently, you might not want to go with SS. But for us, it's all mud and logs/sticks. I've hit logs/sticks of all different sizes and at all speeds from 0 to 25. I've hit logs so hard that the motor bounced and locked in the up position. Panic set in as soon as I realized I was now headed at the bank of this narrow channel at full speed and I had no steering with the motor in the up position. :shock: Maybe it's just luck, but to date, I've never damaged a SS prop and I've never broken a motor hitting things.
