Dependant on the diameter of your 23P 3B's you may loose some RPM with the addtional blade. But I would guess that the diameter of your 3B props is smaller than that of the Bravo I 4B. THe larger diameter of the 4B will also decrease the RPM as well.

The Bravo I is a bow lifting propeller and the Hydro QIV is a stern lifting propeller.

its at the top of the list Dave. probably wont get a set till i freshen up the power though. yea my boat also feels kinda vague with the 3 blades too. may try a few different props with the stock motors just for grins. got a friend that has a few sets on the shelf for testing
