Nothing is more annoying than a boat that won’t get on plane, and of course it’s also dangerous [to the engine and prop] to be dragging butt for 100 yards on every takeoff.
    I do not need more speed so I am thinking about going to a 4 blade prop

    I have always liked a four blade better than a three blade on every boat I’ve had. I did just get a tempest plus to try also though

    battery qty & type
    setback
    digital holeshot rpm
    .
    And,,,,,, RPM at top speed with trim set to achieve it
    Height of rooster tail at the same time
    make sure only one large hole plug in the tempest
    set the motor to 3.5 in for a better hole shot
    24 Fury 3 , no plugs will so better
