That's crap. They are both "steel" props. One just happens to be a higher grade polished prop, and may have a better hub in it. Take a look at Power Tech props, the OFX line is highly regarded and a great performer. www.PTProps.com .

civicb,
The "steel" prop that came with your motor is just fine if you are maxing out on plane at midrange for what the owners manual calls for.
My C115 came with a Power Tech ss prop and I have been very happy with the performance. My manual calls for max rpm range of 4500-5500, and all trimed out with two fisherman and gear in my Pathfinder, I am turning 5100 rpm. If you are not "midrange" with your rig, then get a prop that will get you there.
Good luck,
