   I like to wakeboard, so I've heard a 4-blade would be better for these lower speeds.  

What diameter and pitch 4-blade would be equivilent to my original 13X13?  (of course I don't want to lose top speed either.

	I have tried 6 different props on my boat. 2 different diameters, and 4 diff. pitches. The one consistant thing that I found is: My boat would not go faster than 52 m.p.h.. A 12"x12p. prop gives a killer wake @ 24 m.p.h. on my boat, given mine weighs 2640# and has a 40 gal. tank behind the seat. you want to wakeboard,you don't want to pull 12 skiers. you want the boat to NOT! come up on plane, but to plow the water @ low speed. I think a 4 blade is another mousetrap just to get way too much money out of your pocket.
