We recommend 3-blade propellers for recreational boats with 3, 4, and 6 cylinder
outboards and I/O engines. These propellers provide good “hole shot” and top-speed
performance.
We recommend 4-blade propellers for bass boats and boats with high performance hulls
running high horsepower outboard engines. Compared to 3 blades, they provide better
“hole shot” performance with less steering torque and less vibration at high speeds.
