Just bought a 21 foot bowrider with a Mercruiser 5.0 engine.  Boat dry weight is 3,150 lbs.  Current prop is 21 pitch aluminum three blade.  Engine WOT range is 4400-4800 rpm.  Current prop condition is OK, but has a few dings that need to be smoothed out.  Considering a four blade prop and soliciting others' experience with four blades and whether the extra blade might change the optimum pitch.  Not looking for a racer, but something that will balance fuel efficiency and a decent top end.
