I run a 17P 4 blade mercury rev4. love it. 275HP 4 stroke Me4c verado. bracket. when it was a 250HP I ran the same prop.lost a couple on the top end from a 3 blade (solas maybe I totally forget its in my basement gathering dust never use it anymore)
4 blade all the way-better low speed ability, more bite never cavitates out even on a hard turn, planes at lower speed. much superior offshore and inshore just sacrifices a couple knots at the top end.
I used ken at propgods, great guy. I am in MA, Ken FL. highly recommend. or find a local dealer willing to let you try a few props.
