Default Just when I thought it was safe to buy a prop

That seems like a lot to drop -- and seems like it'd make my top end & midrange
suffer.

The mercury prop selector pushes the rev4 17; and I just can't find any other
prop-calculators...

They weren't too thrilled about me "trying the prop" and 'would have to get back
to me'

Thoughts on this mojo-prop-magic ?

If you don't need the additional surface area of a 4 blade, it is beyond
superfluous, it is a burden.

It sounds like you should stick with the 19P SS wheel. There are many
choices in that spec alone, even from just Quicksilver.
