4 blade vs. 3

[MLA]

IMO, based on experience as well as numerous conversations with the folks at ACME, the amount of ballast one runs, never comes into the equation between a 3 or 4 blade prop. The number of blades seems to be decided upon way earlier, then its down to dia and pitch. A 4 blade is not universal for boarding or surfing.
