[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 349915, member: 13358"] All else being equal, adding a blade will drop your rpm. I would want to drop more than just one in pitch especially if you want to pick up 600rpm. Make any errors in the less-pitch direction. You can always throttle back a little if your prop is too small. A prop on the small side gives a much better hole-shot. Smaller props are easier to re-sell too, generally. A prop that is too big does nothing for you. The boat is sluggish out of the hole and the engine is overloaded at full throttle. [/QUOTE]
