idea about 4 or 3 blade props

[95VIP]

Is a four blade prop really better then a three prop? Im looking for a prop that is good for wakeboarding and cruising. It will be on a 5.7 alpha 1 sterndrive.

That depends on what you are trying to do. To get out of the hole, a 4 blade is usually better. But, they generally loose a little in top end speed.
