I would like to change to a 4 blade ss.
I currently have a 3 blade alum with a 19 pitch
boat is a 1991 four winns 200 horizon with 350 cid and OMC outdrive
wot is about 4600 rpm 47-50 mph.
Most of the time I am pulling a 2 person tube, knee board,or skier
I have been told a 4 blade is better for this.
I have tried a 3 blade 17 and did not notice much of a change but boat was a little slower.

Should I drop the pitch to a 17 or stay with the 19.
I am looking at buying a HR Titan Stainless Steel Propeller for OMC

I was hoping someone could help $300 is a lot to drop on the wrong prop.
Once I get the new prop I will post results here and maybe help someone else in there choice of props

Stay with the 19 pitch? Is that what you mean?
