    I'm curious how the 4 will run. I think you've get a fairly heavy rig there and a 4 blade might handle that load better. Let me know how it runs, Jimmie. I still think you have some setup issues to resolve and that boat should pick up at least 5 mph. Jackplate would be the first thing I would consider.

    I would say that the 4 blade would give you a better hole shot and handling but might lose top end ( but you already new that) if any one is looking a used jackplate let me know 6" vance jackplate whoza_daddy2002@yahoo.com
