[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 224052, member: 4585"] I saw the 4 blade as well. I was interested in it because of the 4 blade spitfire. I thought maybe it was just the Solas version of the same thing. Remember I know nothing about props and don't pretend to. So I ask the expert about it. He said don't bother with the 4 blade unless you are running a tunnel hull and need to prevent cavitation. Or if you are having problems with cavitation on a regular hull. He said the 3 blade would be better for my boat (I don't know what you have) It has bigger blades and that is where the extra bite comes from, and you don't have the extra blade or the extra cost.
