    Anyone running a 4 blade on there 2000T? My hole shot isn’t bad running the stock prop, but do tend to get a little porpoising if I trim too high. Just looking for suggestions. Thanks!

    We setup a couple of them with 4 blade you’ll lose a little on topend but your holeshot and handling will be much better. We put on anywhere from a 15 pitch to 17 pitch 4 blade just depends on how much weight you carry. Your porpoising is caused by your current prop the design, and over pitched and over trimming will then cause it to porpoise.

    I love the 4 blade on my WX2100. It cuts a bit off the top end, but dominates on both hole shot and mid-range performance. I guess it all depends on each boat owners end goals on what they want/need.

    So propmann, what four blade would you recommend? Right now I’m running the stock 17p black SS, getting about 38 to 39 MPH top end, right at 6000 rpm.

    I would run a Powertech RXB4 15 pitch or a Solas Hr4 15 but probaly need alittle extra cupping put into that prop.
