You do NOT want an aluminum 4 blade, you DO want it in stainless. I can bore you with six thousand reasons, just don't be a doofus, get what works the first time. Steve knows what to get you he'll call me if he has questions...

1. It's soft, and can't hold it's form like stainless, especially a flats cup type design.
2. Anything you barely touch will ding the heck out of it.
3. Because it bends under pressure, you won't be able to run nearly as high in your tunnel as a good stainless design. You bought that rig to run shallow, that's the key piece in letting you do it.

i can tell you.

you want a power tech 4 blade accelerator with extra cup added.
whatever your current prop is, drop 2 deg. or so of pitch (this compensates for the cup that will be added)

i sell them!

your looking at 425.00 with the work done for your tunnel.

sugg. retail (without work) is 436.26
