I Need more hole shot with live wells full

[Brownmule69]

I have a blazer 202 pro v with a 2000 Johnson 225. At 5600 rpm, Im running about 60-62 mph. With my livewells full and my gas tanks fuel, it has a hard time getting on plane. It takes it a while. My prop is a 14 1/2 x 28 raker 2. If I Put a 4 blade 14 x 25 on it, then will it have less strain on my motor and plan off faster. I don't care if I loose to much speed.

Yes a 4 blade should help. Normally they suggest dropping one inch in pitch when going to a 4 blade..
If you change material the exact results will be difficult to predict.But better hole shot,being able to stay on plane easier
at reduced throttle and better control responce are expected.

The way it was told to me was a 4 blade prop will have the planing of a prop that is 2" lower in pitch and the top end of a prop that is 2" higher in pitch. It is a broad statement but from what I've read, is fairly close, we will see this summer when I try out my new prop.
