One of my memories as a child that I still practice today is watching my dad actually sharpening his prop to the point where ou didn't wanna run your leg across it for sure
Some props will rust more than others depending on what other metals are in the prop. Stock fishing Yamaha props rust real quick, as in new boats at the dealer will have rust spots on them when they come off the truck.
I believe a mat finish is faster than a polished one.
Another prop tip is to run 400 grit sandpaper along the leading edge almost every time out. That way if there is a small nick in the blade it will take the stress point away, less likely to crack a blade. Although you wouldn't need to do this on your average prop but anything that has been thinned at all.

Here's a good reason to pull the prop that hasn't been mentioned....to keep it from being damaged from gravel, etc. while trailering. Besides, it gives everyone at the ramp more time to covet your Stream.
Ok good, I'm liking some of the responses I'm getting here, that's why I asked! You guys have converted me lol.... Next time the boat's stored the prop will stay off should be nice and shiny before it hits the water too
