Dyno,
Try the Mirage 3 blades you'll get better top but I think hole shot and mid range will suffer.... don't know if you would be happy.

typically for a

454/496 = 24P 4blade
496HO = 24/26P 4blade
500 = 26/28P 4blade

Seriously I'd call a couple professional wheel spinners and give them your exact rpms/speeds in various weather and water conditions and see if there is a consensus amongst a few of them as to what they think would work best. If your looking for "one" all purpose best bang for the buck prop it's probably going to be a "custom" labbed 4 blade in the 24-26P range. What I mean by custom is exactly that...made for your boat specifically. This is one area that can and will make a huge difference. Good luck!

Dano with my current set up(1993) the X is lower right? will a 4 blade work for me? I havent been able to get out to my boat to measure the X yet but I will soon!!!

Dano, Have you been in a new 31 (that is infused) how is the ride, and speed say with 496HOs?
