Default Needs some prop skoolin.... Cigarette

My Cig has 26P 4 blades..... What would I gain by going to 5 blades. I am not overly interested in the top end. It is plenty fast. Granted, i dont want to lose much off the top either, but what are the differences in ride/performance going to a 5 blade? Also, would I need to step the pitch down slightly going from a 26P 4 blade? what do I gain/lose, is it worth it, etc.

Thanks in advance!

What year is your hull? It is possible but some details will be necessary.

He has a 93 38 TG with about 550hp a side and standard Bravo drives. The boat runs 74mph at about 5100rpms currently. WOT rpm about where it should be. Could go to 5200rpms or so.

Right eichhoma????????
