Why size prop?
I have a 24 P&D with a sbf 351w pushing about 300-330 hp and putting a bravo 1 drive with a 1:50 ratio. What prop should I be looking to run?

Ok sounds good, I have a 21 laying around the house that I was trying to sell but I guess that one might be it haha what's the advantage of the 21 4 blade over the 3 blade

Carrying that extra blade provides more bite but also adds drag as the motor has to swing one extra blade through the water. It is common to use a 4 blade prop with about 1" less pitch for the same boat as compared to a 3 blade. The 4 blade will usually have a slightly smaller diameter to a comparable 3 blade. Again that is a generality.

Any guesses on what speeds I should be looking at after the bravo is on and obviously with the right prop and the horsepower as stated earlier? I can't wait to have everything put together!!!
