Default BBlades or Throttle Up !! ??

Question....


i run a 17 X 28 - 4 blade (old style merc ) 12-14 rake ??!!

if i stick a 17 X 26 - 5 blade on there(same rake) ..........what would be the deferents in RPM and acceleration ????

And how would it effect the attitude on a light single engine boat ?( STERN or BOW LIFT ) ????

I would bet your accelleration times would improve. slower on top end and no noticable change in stern lift.
