Default Three blade vs four

Had the three blade prop on 150vmax rebuilt due to wear. Put new power head in January and with rebuilt prop I'm 6-8 mph less than when first got my rig. Someone told me they can never match new specs. I'll keep as spare and buy new one, what's the pros of 4 vs 3 blade?

4 blade is more of a low end prop. You'll jump out of the water faster and get on plane faster but your gonna lose top end speed. If your looking for more speed on the top end go with the 3 blade
