They tell me that a three blade is smoother than a two blade.but, smoother enough that I would care??? I think it is more about the HP you are expecting the prop to absorb. If you can only swing about 70-72 inches, and are running 300 HP or so, you will need a three blade to absorb it. If you are lower in HP, you can probably get by with a two blade. Otherwise, it boils down to how sexy do you think it looks, and how tall are you when sitting on your wallet. :>) Bill B
