    Propeller physics will tell you
    that less area moved in H2O... (as in prop blade width) will equate to faster
    time due to less drag! Ever heard a 2 blade prop is a 'speed prop'?

    Physics would tell you to run a 2 blade if the prop was fully submerged. That's not how most of use our props these days. I have a 32" bronze two blade I could sell if you want the retro go fast deal.
