What hp engine would ya’ll draw the line at for stainless prop and why. Found a prop that is supposed to fit a 70 johnny.

Im not exactly sure what youre asking… but I had one on my skiff with a yamaha 50tlr and I had an aluminum one for shrimping. The stainless was WAY better for everything. It was well worth the money. I did have to use a different pitch for the stainless. If I had the choice I would buy it again.

We use them on 30 Yamahas…well worth it IMHO!
I wouldn’t run anything else, even on my small engines. 25 Merc, stainless prop…

i always ask customers where they use their boat the most.
if they use them on the lakes, always suggest aluminum. stumps and rocks
saltwater marshes around here, mud and oysters.
stainless will chew up mud and oysters with little or no effect to motor, and aluminum gets chewed up.
rocks and stumps will damage both aluminum and stainless. stainless will cause propshaft and gear damage.
aluminum will just need a prop
Whether your prop is used in a marsh, offshore, or just inland, use a stainless. It helps to keep the guess work out of some problems!
…Politicians aren’t the “Oldest Profession”, but the results are still the same!!!
Read somewhere that stainless was too heavy to run on anything less than 90hp.
