I am a fan of 4-blade props on my boat, but I'm running a Bravo 1 26 that has been worked ANd pushing a ton of power.
I think I'd try a 23 pitch Mirage Plus (3-blade) and see how she works that way.

my boat came with a 21 mirage plus and the 850 hour 330hp turns it just shy of 4800 rpm. i tried a 23 m+ and would only spin it to 4300, not surprisingly. i forget what you're running for power, but there's that for reference.

I'm running about 420-425. I'm going to keep my eyes out for a 22 1 bravo 1 4 blade or a 23 mirage plus locally to borrow. I have plenty of 3 blades to play with but pretty sure they won't be worth the time.

yeah i'd bet a 23 mirage plus would be close. i'm pretty sure the Bravo 1 4-blades are even number pitch, and i'd think a 22 would be what you'd need? i'm looking to try a 22p B1 this summer on mine.
