Funny. The prop sizing is using a look up based upon boat weight.

Prop sizing is an art. Too little pitch and no top end and not full HP output at WOT. Too much pitch it does not let engine develop max horsepower at designed WOT rpm.

Definitely stainless steel prop.

I think 4 blade gives you more dig in at start. But creates more drag at hi rpms and lessens top sped very slightly. More trades off- holeshot vs top end.
