Yeah, theres a truck load I don't know about props- thanks for the info.
As far as the 13.5x15K for new yamaha f70's:
Appears that nearly everyone [that I've heard from here at WC] who has recently purchased one of these outboards, got the 13.5x15K aluminum; looks like we're all spread across the country.
Sounds like a default choice by yamaha, based on least expensive, best 'middle of the road'?

Anyway, I've posted some ugliness of my Yam aluminum w/dinged edges. [cell phone cam- not great images]

In the end, I think it can be hand faired, just concerned about running with [damaged?] hub, which at this point I'm not feeeling or hearing any differences from so far.

Looking forward to an SS upgrade by maybe Oct-Nov.
