Depends on your boat, engine, etc.

I am working with Ken @ propgods.com to help me find the right prop for me this upcoming season.

I suggest checking him out.

He is one of the premier prop guys in the country. based out of Fl.
One of the few places that will let you try a prop, then return it and try another if it does not meet your needs (rpm, etc).

I SERIOSULY doubt you need a 4blad for that boat and engine.

get a good SS in a pitch size to give you MAX rpm reco'd for your engine.

My range happens to be 4500-5500 for my engine, and am at 5000, but the correct rpm (in order not to lug engine and ultimately harm) is 5600-5800 with a very light load.

This way when loaded up to normal capacity, it will be right at 5500.
