IMHO stainless is the only way to go.  Aluminum props are not practically for shallow water application.

That's some funny chit Bob!  But all it takes is sand and shell to throw an aluminum out of whack.

Even at idle an oyster bed or a rock will mess up an aluminum.

Before I added my Jack plate my cavitation plate as about an inch and a half above the keel... with the Jack plate I run her high, but then again, I'm running a prop that loves to be sky high
