Subject: Need help with propeller - stainless really better

Hello, I am in need of a quick lesson in propellers. I hope someone can help.

I have an old 1982 55 hp Johnson with a 3" diameter X 5 1/2" long propeller. One the propeller it says on the side 11- 1/2 X 19.

I have two questions.

1. Since I know nothing about pitch or anything else about propellers, what do I ask for when I need a replacement or a spare propeller (what size do I have?).

2. Can someone explain pitch and the other phrases/words associated with a propeller.

3. Does stainless steel really improve your boats performance? If so how?

4. Whats the advantage on a four blade over a three blade propeller?

5. Where is the most inexpensive place to buy a stainless steel propeller and what size/pitch should I consider using?

Thanks
