prop selection on 282 w/ F225's

[bc282]

2002 282 Sailfish with Yami F225's currently running Yami SWS 15.25 x 19 SS props.

Anyone running or have experimented with a 4 blade or different style prop on this boat engine combo?

I had the 19" on my setup and could only max out at 5500 rpm"s. this was too low I was told so I switched to a pair of merc 17" 4 blade props and max out 5900 to 6000. I find the bite of the 4 wheels good especially at lower rpm and in rougher seas. i cruise at 3700 rpm, burn 14gph and cruise at 21-22knots.
