my 17 mirage + did on tight turns on my 23. it was mounted right height. played around a lot. best move I ever did was a 4 blade Merc Rev 4 17P, you lose a couple hundred RPM same pitch as a 3 blade, and a couple knots on the top endlost, but gain a lot-lower planning speed, better for offshore running, better stern lift, hole shot to plane, better at low speed maneuverability, never blows out.
4 blade is it.
