Try a 4 blade prop, I had to do it with my boat to enable the boat to plane at a lower rpm and a faster hole shot. My top speed dropped 2 mph but I picked up a better cruising speed, hole shot and similar mpg as with a 3 blade. My boat has a 20-degree deadrise and weighs about 6000 lbs so the best prop was a 15" diameter by 21.5 pitch. Oh, I also have a Suzuki DF300AP.
