Yes another prop question. OK so I have a 2007 fourwinns 180 with the 4cyl VP Stock it has a 3 blade 21p prop. I bought a 3 blade 19p prop and top speed went away but lots of holeshot. Great but now I like the top end of my 21p but want the pick up of the 19p so I was thinking 19p 4 blade Might be a happy medium? Any ideas is this the right way to go?

Actually, the happy medium would be with a 21p 4 or 5 blade. Please search. I have a few recent post's with my own related findings.

Good luck

I agree with walt, the 4 or 5 blade 19P will give you more hole shot vs the 3 blade 19 P and possibly lose more top end.

There is no magic prop that will give you hole shot and top end. Its a compromise! Find what works best for you, maybe you need 2 props, one for speed and one for hole shot when you take everyone out for water sports!

I think I lose about 5mph with the 14x20p 4-blade, but it more than makes up for it when doing watersports. I usually use the 3-blade in the spring and fall for cruising at a little faster pace.
