All that was based upon theory....not necessarily practical application. Perhaps I should reconsider the four blade application for my boat.

And yes...I did take note of how your boat was blocked.

Thanks again!
Call Dave Wrigley down at Canyon Club Marina in Cape May, he helped my buddy with the 46ss a few years ago and is very good in knowlege of Ocean and Viking boats. Also give Ray Teel a call at Atlantis Propeller in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Both can help steer you in the right direction. I'm no expert in props, but I was always thought you lose top end speed with the 4-blades and gain some at cruise over the 3-blades.
