I have a 40' Excalibur Hawk and was wondering if anyone has moved from 3 blade Mirages to 4 blade Bravo or Hydromotive props, if so what were or are the advantages and disadvantages you experienced, I have been told that the 4 blades give more stern lift and a higher cruise speed at a lower rpm....please inform me, Thanks, Fred
