Generally, three blade props work better on non-stepped hulls with drives that are not mounted too high. Four blades work better on stepped hulls. What prop are you running now at what rpm and speed?

23's are the better way to go... three blade.

You might want to try a 23 -3 blade cleaver also, litte tougher to get on plane but they will work and might give you a few M.P.H.
