Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I'll chime in here as well. Go for the stainless. There is no doubt that stainless is much harder, but that also means it can take a few more things as well...like sand. if your blades hit sandy bottom, they will not blunt, bend, chip, etc. When going fast, you will bend a shaft/ break the lower unit with either an aluminum or a stainless, so in my humble opinion, I'd rather get the performance characteristics of a stainless. Besides...how often are you going to run into rocks anyway (in all seriousness here...think about it...)?
