[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 377320, member: 7376"] The 4th blade is going to slow you down. 3 blades are generally faster, but the 4 blade generally planes faster/holds plane at a lower RPM and runs higher on the transom before blowing out. Sounds like you may be able to get away with raising the motor a good bit. Not a fan of Powertech on a 4 stroke. Most are just too aggressive, IMO, as the 4 stroke engine generally needs to develop RPM to make power. Some motors are more sensitive to "lugging" than others. [/QUOTE]
