Thx in advance Steve. I have some time in my 680 tiller with Yamaha f50 now. With the Solas 3 blade solo I saw 5800 rpm at 32 mph. With 1 extra body 5600 rpm at 30 mph. With 2 extra bodies and a golden retriever 5400 rpm at 27 mph and slow to plane. I was wondering if the 4 blade 11 pitch would give similar rpm and ability to plane at lower rpm? By myself it stayed on plane quite well around 4500 rpm but much under that it would fall off plane. I was also wondering if the 4 blade could over rev if I was by myself. Most times I am using the boat it is with 1 other person and I was happy with planing time and speed but still wonder if it can be improved?
