I've got a 14' long, 36" wide Jon boat and just got a 2006 5hp Nissan 4 stroke outboard to push it. With my gps I got a top speed of 12 mph going up river. Was very impressed with this kind of speed. The mtr comes with a 3 blade prop. (Not sure of the pitch). Would a 2 blade give more speed?? Thanks!!!
 
It very well might give you more top end speed - just be careful you do not over rev that engine

There are a bunch of guys on here who are very knowledgeable about props - hopefully they will chime in
