to keep with the topic we run 4,5,and 6 blades on our svl . race boat.
the 6 blades out accelerate everything else in our testing . but we have found that this changes with the prop height ( X - dimension) on a pleasure boat with a deep X the less blades that you can still get on plane will normally be faster however if you start lifting the drive height the slippage will go through the roof so if you add blades you can go higher and the net result is a gain ( you seem to gain more from lifting the drive to reduce drag than you lose from increased slippage and as I said the 5 and 6 blades take care o;f that)

I can't imaging running 3 blades on anything anymore. I remember when everyone was skeptical about going to 4 blades, now 4 blades are so common and even 5 blades are making a big push. I just made the switch last year to 5 blades, not sure if I'm ready for sixers anytime soon...
