Default Quick Prop Question

I would suggest that you purchase a good SS prop in a 14 x 19 to use as your
main prop. You will gain speed and acceleration by the improvement in blade
design. Then use the current prop as a spare. Look at the Laser II.

Tony- I have been reluctant to switch to SS props, in spite of the
performance gains, because of concerns about drive damage. I
regularly run local rivers, complete with submerged tree trunks,
rocks, etc., that are rearranged regularly by ice and current.

I have heard from other experienced boaters that the SS props are more
unforgiving, and transfer more shock to the drive if an object is hit.

Any thoughts?
