98 Merc 150 outboard. I currently have a 3 blade aluminum prop that has a bent blade. Would like to replace with stainless, but I am looking at pitches from 15'" to 25" I use the boat in and around coral reefs and salt water, I want good performance and acceleration from the prop. Also what are the pros and cons of 3 blade vs 4 blade props? Thanks
