If your motor does not have a Command Thrust gearcase, IMO the best all-around prop is going to be the Merc SpitFire X7 4-blade. If top speed is the #1 priority, the Powertech PRO3 can't be beat in your horsepower range. The PRO3 is a clone of the Yamaha Pro Series. Quote

What is the thought with that? Quote

Not sure what pitches to recommend but I'm sure you know best for your rig. I would go with 2" less pitch when changing from 3-blade to 4-blade. Personally, I have become a 3-blade fan if they have a little extra cup for grip - because they are generally faster and more fuel efficient. Here are a few that have the right stuff: PowerTech RKR 3 Blade Propeller - Mercuryhttps://www.nettleprops.com/store/p/811-PowerTech-RKR-3-Blade-Propeller-Mercury.aspx PowerTech RKR 4 Blade Propeller - Mercuryhttps://www.nettleprops.com/store/p/817-PowerTech-RKR-4-Blade-Propeller-Mercury.aspx Mercury Tempest Plushttps://www.boatpropellerwarehouse.com/category/5486/tempest-plus Mercury Revolution 4https://www.boatpropellerwarehouse.com/category/5579/revolution-4 Quote
