I need to know what would be best route 3 or 4 blades and wwhat pitch? The boat has bravos 1:5 ratio. Also what can I expect to gain in mph once a gain 250 rpms?

You didn't mention your red line or the rev limiter setting. If your red line is 52-5300 and you have full tanks and a couple passengers you may be in good. shape. As you burn off fuel you will pick up some R's.
If you are to be at 5600 to 6000 you have too much prop at her right now.
