Stainless Prop on Merc 90 hp 4s

[kipawa]

Hi,
I have a lund rebel 1825 with a 90 merc 4s with a 13'' x 19 pitch aluminium prop. I am very happy with the performance for a 90 hp as it will run 42 mph (gps). I like the looks and durability of a stainless prop and considering a quicksilver laser ll. Am I throwing my money away in going with stainless.
Opinions Please,
Kipawa

Approx 5800, I don't think the motor is hitting maximum RPM as the boat starts to porpoise no matter where have the trim set at.

I would run a 18 vengeance/silverado or a powertech raf 17.
