Anyone using 4-blade props for twin screw F150's + 232 Gulfstream?

I really liked having the 4-blade prop on the 209, better hole shots, fuel economy. Curious if any member(s) are using a 4-blade on their pre-2006 Gulfstream 232?

Recently put them on my Marlin, made a heap of difference to holeshot, manoeuvring is tighter, has more torque/grip so doesn’ lag as much with trailing sea....fuel economy didn’t really change a lot and cruise speed is similar to the 19s as well. All up happy Chappy

What props do you have now, what performance problems are you trying to correct or improve on, and why are you contemplating switching to 4-blades?

I have some experience in pushing a heavy boat with twin F150s, and with changing from the original props.
