3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22

I have searched the internet some, looking for best 3 blade prop. I don't think I want or need a 4 blade. Recommendations on size, pitch, cup & SS or aluminium. This is in fresh water also. Thanks for any advise given, it all helps.
