If you have a heavy load on the boat the 4 blade is the way to go.

Get a mercury revolution 4 prop.
just not sure you want a 17 or 19.
All depends on rpms.
19 you may not reach max rpms.
Your center console is a bit lighter than a sport cabin so a 19 could be fine.

Try prop gods. Ken knows props. I went to a four blade SS from a 3 blade SS.
I can plane at a lower speed, less bowlift, and only lost MAYBE 1MPH at WOT.

Greater low end torque. Not much to gain in speed though. We use 4 blades on the Towboats for that reason.
