Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 15 Revolution 4, every time I've personally tried it on a boat, it ventilated badly, but its been years since I did that, so...Leave a comment:

but its not going to get on plane any faster.
Many times with that setup, the 3 blade will... -

If they give you a deal on Suzuki props with the motor, I'd go 16 x 18.5 3 blade.
