Just bought a 2003 Bayliner 185 with a 3.0L that has 125 hours on it. Prop appears to be a standard 3 blade. I am 5'-10" 210 lbs. Will my wife be able to pull me up on a knee board if I ever get the nerve to try one? If weight in the boat matters she is about 130-135 and our son and daughter (50 lbs apiece) would be on board during this attempt.

If I read correctly I can swap my 3 blade prop for a 4 blade for better "out of the hole" speed with a lost of some top speed, correct?

should be fine for boarding. the pitch of the prop will determine the hole shot and top speed not the number of blades.
