I have a couple 4blade questions? I have a 17ft bow rider with a 2.5l/120hp I use mainly for fishing but once in a while me and my buddy's have a getaway day where we ski/tube and grill on the island. I was wondering if I got a 4blade prop to get a better hole shot for playing would it be worth it ? I don't have a big problem getting on plane but with a couple people it could be better. Currently I run a 14" 19p 3blade and I run 4200 to 4500 wot depending on # of passengers and if the hull is clean (slipped all season) so my 19p 3blade is perfect. I wanna keep my wot rpm where it is so no one can Wind it too tight . So my questions are will my little 2.5l push a 4 and it do you think I would notice a big enough difference to justify buying a 4 blade to put on when we play? Also what pitch on the 4 blade would I want , I guess I wanna drop pitch. Sorry I didn't mention I run an aluminum now and would want a 4 blade aluminum because of where I boat. Any input is much appreciated!
