If you see a Four Winns running laps between Sleepers and the sand bar this weekend....you'll know why. I'll be testing props.

Thanks!!
Some marina's will let you test out a prop before you buy. Personally I swear by a 4 blade prop on anything. I have run one on my Baja from day one and lost nothing on top end but gained handling and then some. Mine was a very expensive Lab finished prop and at $800+ probably not an option.
