Fury 3 vs 4 blade

I know that a lot of you have tested this prop and compared them side by side on your boat. What I am interested in is the difference you have seen in RPM for changes from 3 to 4 blade. With limited experience on other Merc props switching from a 3 to a 4 blade same pitch the RPM went slightly down with the 4 blade. But how much on a FURY? Also a change of pitch on any same prop would typically be around 200 RPM. What have you seen?

I have a 2016 PII. I have run both a 3 blade and 4 blade Fury in the 24 pitch.

The 4 blade will run 2-3 mph slower, but hits the rev limiter.

The 3 blade will of course run slightly faster, but at a lower RPM.

During the cooler months the 24 Fury 3 will also hit eh rev limiter at 72.4 mph.

In my experience the 4 blade turned up more RPM with less speed, but better handling.

If your changin to a four blade Fury a drop in pitch has usually achieved similar results for most people without a sacrifice in performance the four blade Fury has.

Is the Fury 4 available in a 23 pitch yet?
