should be about the same eng rpm better hole shot less steering torque and a little slower top end
great choice for heavy boat where steering torque is a problem

Will loose a couple mph not a huge difference
If you have power steering on the boat you will not notice the change in steering torque
great choice for the guy that has a heavy boat or mechanical steering we recommend 4 blade props for all our tiller operated boats and a boat that gets occasional use for tubing or water skiing
