[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 178393, member: 4627"] Most pumps come stock with a zinc alloy impeller. The stainless have very thin blades. Stainless are also VERY HEAVY, at least 2lbs heavier than a zinc one. I'm going to guess a 6 7/8 stainless would be around 7-8lbs if not more than that. I know that the 6 1/8 are around 5lbs where a zinc one is 4 1/4lbs and a aluminium is 3 1/2lbs. The stainless are also very durable. As for what size motors benifits it depends, my motor is a 40/28 evinrude that I've done a little work to and it gained me 1mph when I put a stainless 6 1/8 in. [/QUOTE]
