Spun the hub on my stainless prop and don't know of anyone around here that can replace the hub so I'm just going to go to aluminum. It's just a 40hp so I don't see the need for stainless I've got a 15 pitch now and it seems like i either need to go up or down in pitch to keep my rpms correct but I can't remember which. I'm happy with the performance of the prop I have now and I'm running 29-30 at 5500 +- rpm.
So prop gurus what do i need

If you have a Mercury, they have a prop finder on their website that is very useful
There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!

go up a pitch on aluminium as it will have more slip than stainless, but you can have the hub replaced for about $40. you may need to ship it, but that a better option imo than an aluminum.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

I don't think you will be happy with the aluminum. This who I have used Jims prop shopIt's a 16 foot aluminum boat with a 40 I think it'll be fine. I'd go stainless on bass boat
