    Depends on the rpms you are seeing now with prop mentioned... And motor height.

    If you know it can also be rough water, get a 4 blade and prop it down a couple of inches. You want to be able to move the boat around in rough water like you want to. Speed becomes irrelevant in rough water.

    This is true... But if you are propped to 5500-5600 now, You can drop 1-2 pitchs and gain everything,
