4 blade Apollo by Michigan Wheel

[fatrap]

I recently ordered a new Tempest Plus 2 pitch that will relegate my existing prop to spare. A friend of mine gave me a SS 18 pitch Apollo four blade from Michigan Wheel to try and find a home for. I was wondering if this would run on my Opti 150 thats on my 18 foot Tundra. What kind of preformance Ideas??

Most Tempest props run great on boats over 18' because it has lots of bow lift. I tried one on my 18' Ranger and I couldn't see the water in front of me it lifted the bow so high. Real fast. I like 4 blades because there always is a 2 blades in the water on every revolution. 4 blades have less steering torque for this reason. Plus 4 bladers have all around performance.
