[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 434051, member: 3278"] [size=5]Pretty much nailed by Turbotodd. Stainless blades are thinner than aluminum and do perform better as a result. Old wives tails are that a stainless will break the gearcase or gears when hitting a submerged object. That's why a rubber hub is installed in them. To slip and minimize internal damage. Blade design is the all important factor when choosing a stainless. Try as many as you can and make only one change at a time in your boat while recording performance changes. They are a prop you can do a bit more with compared to an aluminum. [/size] [/QUOTE]
