Location: Seymour, WI | I'm not a motor head like Steve or Shep, but my own experience with a Yamaha motor and stock Yamaha aluminum prop is that the Yamaha aluminum prop fits that motor very well and has very good handling and performance.
When I experimented with steel props I really didn't see any performance improvement and I ended up just liking the feel and lower cost of the aluminum prop better.
For me, spending an extra $200 - $300 on a steel prop was not worth it to get an add'l 1-2 MPH in top end speed.
