I bought a 13.25 x 17 pitch three blade boat propeller for my mercury 75 hp outboard last year from Hexautoparts.com. So far I am pleased as it improves acceleration and top speed.
But most of my friends are four blade fans.They told me a four blade prop of the same pitch will run at less rpms than the three blade because of the greater efficiency.
4 blade propeller or 3 blade propeller,which blade prop do you like better?
I would like to hear your opinions.

Wouldn't the diameter, not just the pitch, have an effect as well? I think the torque of the engine and the weight / drag of the boat would come in to play too.

I would guess the 8 blades on the Spark is optimum for the drone. Less and it would spin wildly out of control.
