Now, more in the 54-56 range. 63 is terrifically fast for all the stuff you got in that boat. That rocks.
4 blade will give it a better hole shot & better handling, 3 blade will give it better top end & not as good hole shot, but with a light boat like W's a 3 blade may still have a pretty good hole shot with top end speed.
