I am currently running a 4 blade prop on my merc 225 efi. Would a 3 blade prop give me more top speed ?? Currently runs about 63mph..

20 foot ProGator. When I bought the boat years ago, new, it had a 3 blade prop, 1st time off the trailer the prop was spun. I took it to Travis boats in Lewisville and they gave me a 4 blade prop for it. Just wondering if the 3 blade would go faster...

To answer your question it is YES if you have the right one, probably a Tempest Plus 25P..........
There is a good prop man on this forumn, I can not think of his name, he should chime in here shortly...
