    3 blade vs 4 blade props

    Need to replace the props on my 38c, as it turns out the boy has had the wrong size props since I bought it. Was given options in 3 and 4 blade. Anyone have recommendations one O’Leary or another, the wrong size ones were 4 blade

    3 BLADE- Louder, more vibration, better top speed
    4 BLADE- quiet, smooth, slightly better cruise speed, less top speed.

    No vibration. Smooth. Very very expensive
