Stainless Prop for 201 Fundeck with Yamaha 115

My Yamaha 115 has an old aluminum prop and I would like to replace it with a stainless prop.

Can anyone recommend the correct size SS prop?  The boat and motor are both year 2000 (Yamaha is 2-stroke).  Thanks!

    you could check with a local prop shop for this comparison .  Yamaha does not fit with a SS prop until 150 HP

    Good suggestion.  I'll definitely try that.  Thanks.  Still wondering if anyone has already done it to get their "lessons-learned" feedback.

    I’m looking for the same, currently have. 2012 187SD WITH A 115 HP running an aluminum 13 1/4 x 17K prop. It does not come out of the hole very well. I’m able to run WOT around 6500 at about 31 mph. Any suggestions on a prop for me.

    You may need to change over to a 4 blade prop to get better hole shot.  The good news is that Yamaha (if you have a Yamaha) has a great "prop selector" website.   You may want to visit it and plug in some numbers: http://www.yamahapropselector.com/propSelector/web/
