I should have specified that I'm going with stainless. Most modern day props (even SS) have breakaway hubs, so worrying about hitting something and causing problems with the internals is a thing of the past. One of the more useful things I learned in researching this.
Haven't looked into the whale tail - thanks for the suggestion.
As for 5-blades on a small HP motor, again, some people have used the HighFive props on this engine and say there is an absolute difference with holeshot, but they lost 1-2 mph on the top. For every one of those comments I find someone stating it's a bad idea for various reasons. LOL
I will probably just have to bite the bullet and experiment with a best guess - prob a 3-blade SS.
