I'm new to pontoons and an "almost" owner of a 21 SXSR. 85% of my cruising will be a low speeds. 10% getting from point A to point B relatively fast (though probably not WOT) with a light load. And 5% towing a tube.
I have to decide whether to spend an extra $900 for the Yamaha 90 Vmax SHO over the standard 90. The Vmax comes with a stainless steel prop; I believe a 4 blade. I don't know the pitch yet. It seems the benefits might be:

- Durability of stainless steel prop
- Very slightly higher top speed
- A bit better acceleration
- Slightly better maneuverability (due to the 4 blade prop)
- Perhaps a bit better or easier resale if we end up doing that in a few years (but unlikely we will)
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
