If it’s stainless…..your gear case takes the brunt……..That being said, stainless is thinner but more rigid, so it flexes less which gets you around 25 more rpm’s. Because the blades are tougher, they are usually cupped a bit more which improves performance in turns By biting more. That’s why it was mentioned that you could go up a hole with your outboard. You will still have a good grip. Getting the motor up higher will add rpm’s…..and it gets the skeg higher which makes less drag. It’s usually a win unless you are always hitting stuff……..If that’s the case reread paragraph 1 of this post. Lol</blockquote>
