Grady White Islander Propeller Advice

[Islander268GW]

I know there are several discussions on this topic already. However, I'm looking for feedback from those with Islander models or similar.

I currently have twin Evinrude Etec 150s on my Islander 268 that are equipped with 3 blade viper props. I'm not crazy about how the boat handles with the 3 blade vipers, especially in rougher conditions.

I'm looking at the solas titan hr 4 blades in a 15" pitch as recommended by solas.

Those of you with islanders or similar, what are your thoughts?

For those on the hunt and looking, I just installed Solas Rubex HR 4 props in a 15" pitch. Night and day difference from the 3 blades that were on there. The boat handles much much better and seems to "stick" more. I cannot believe I didn't do this sooner.

Thanks for the update. Glad you got it dialed in. I'm running a 4 blade PowerTech on my F225, very satisfied with performance over the 3 blade.
