i'm talking to my boat salesman...he suggests i get a Stainless Steel prop for the motor. the motor is a 115 HP Yamaha 4 stroke. it's about a $400 upgrade to get the stainless steel prop.
I understand a Stainless Steel prop wont flex/bend at high torge..but does a 115 have enough torgue to bend/flex an aluminum prop? besides the prop flexing at high RPM's..what else is the advantage of a SS prop over ALum? (will it "last" longer if hit the sand, or a rock or stump?)

thanks
