If you decide to go to a 4 blade, you will definitely want to drop down in pitch. My suggestion would be to a 17 pitch, assuming you are running a 4 stroke motor, which will have a max rpm of 6000.
Now...depending on what you are looking for, you have lots of options, although the REV4 from mercury is a great prop for lifting the entire boat. Pair that with the ability to tailor the size of the vent hole with different plugs, you can really dial in the prop to your liking.
If you like the tempest, the Rev4 has the same blade geometry so it will perform much the same, but with more handling capabilities due to the 4th blade in the water. The drop in pitch and extra blade will help keep the boat on plane at lower RPM levels for pulling tubes and skiiers, making it a very good prop for what you are looking for.
