Thanks for the info--sounds like 3 blades is a good way to go! It seems like this propeller discussion would make a good page for the wiki-wiki...

I have the 2GMF Yanmar engine (already on the boat when I installed it in
1993) and a 13 inch three-blade prop (don't know the pitch) and it will kick
me along at 6-7 knots in a calm, and nearly as well with a moderate breeze
in your face.  

I do not race the boat, but there is no noticeable noise or vibration while
under sail.  The only negative is that the Yanmar is not the most quiet
engine when it is operating (though the noise under way is definitely
tolerable).  But she has never had the wrench on her, at least since I have
had the boat.

I have a three bladed prop and do not notice any difference, in fact I took 
3rd out of 10, in the Miles River race two years ago. My die-hard racing 
friends would never consider a 3-blade prop because of the drag, but I think

you can make that up with luck.
