So I currently running a 4 blade on my 2017 SN 200. Unfortunately we hit a shallow rock at idle and prop now needs repair and/or replacement. The question is "Does a 3 blade prop or a 4 blade prop make for a softer wake to cross?" or is it just so minimal that I should just stick with the 4 blade? Also, what comes stock on Nautique 200's and MasterCraft ski boats? 3 or 4 blade? I would imagine the both companies test their boats and put the best prop on (3 or 4 blade) for best performance.
Any advice would be awesome! Don't want to miss another weekend of skiing since this time of year is my favorite time...dawn that wetsuit and go!!
Thanks all.
