Prop discussion new boat owner with 2007 350

Mbmike

Need information on the possibility of switching props from 3 blade 22 to 4 blade 20 will it improve low end power I’m not to concerned about high speed I know this will lower it but hey I don’t cruise the lake in a large boat like this at 28mph.  Just looking for information, sources that maybe folks have purchased them from good or bad.

Lots of happy folks who have done what you're considering.  Just search "Hill Marine" on here.

New to the forum and my 2007 350.  I spoke with a local prop company who stated that for my Bravo 2 drive, I was best to stay with  my factory 3 blade.

No way. Many on here have B2 and switched to the 4 blade with amazing results all around

Get your WOT rpm numbers. Engine specs on WOT and call Hill Marine. Went to 4 blades on my B-III’s and was a huge improvement.
