[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 150176, member: 2243"] Your little 7.5hp motor is not going to be any faster with a SS prop. 200 hp motors only see a few mph gain. Your boat is 16' right? 7.5hp is not much motor for that boat. I like to think that aluminum props offer more LU protection then SS but its just a guess. I have gone through my share of aluminum props because of rocks in shallow rivers and never had any LU issues. Another thing....I can almost guarantee your boat won't be any faster with a brand new prop of any material versus the beat up prop that you have. I have ran some gawd awful beat up props on my 25 hp and my boat speed never seemed to increase after a brand new prop install. [/QUOTE]
