[QUOTE="ericman, post: 417561, member: 11909"] I'd say that an aluminum prop on a 20 hp is NOT flexing when under power. I'd also say that the only time a stainless prop really makes ANY sense at all is on a much bigger motor, used in deep enough water to avoid hitting anything with the prop OR in saltwater. If you hit anything with the stainless prop, especially when running a 20 hp with a 1/2" driveshaft, you will severely mess up your drive shaft, whereas the aluminum prop will bend or break, which is a much cheaper fix than a new driveshaft.
