Weedless or weed resistant prop?

I have a 5 hp Suzuki outboard on my merrymeeting scull/TDB 16/Todd boat. I recently upgraded to this motor because I wanted more power and reverse. I was hoping the reverse would allow me to clear the prop.

Saturday I took my son out for youth day and fought weedles all the way in and much of the way out. The reverse helped some but not enough.

Is the a prop design that is resists weed that will fit my motor? It is just no fun learning out off the back of a narrow boat in the dark trying to pull weeds off the prop.

Years ago my hunting partner built a cage around his prop. It worked really great until you hit something hard under the water. He also put a pitchfork head on his motor to cut the weeds before he hit them. This guy was a master at that kind of stuff.
