Keep the B3. Try a set of the XR props. They lift nicely.

Hole shot is improved along with a reduction in RPM at your normal cruise speed. Top end speed and RPM remainded unchanged going from a set of Bblades worked 26" 3 x 3's to 25" 4 x 3 XR's. You can definitely feel the lift in the stern of the boat. Much looser running WOT. For higher HP, higher speed boats the XR's will be less prone to cavitation burn.

Ok thanks for the information we don't have a lot of these type of boats where we live. And not many if any with XR props. I have a 502MPI that I would like to get around 500hp from and need some advise on that if possible.
