Need advice on a 3 blade vs 2 blade prop for gatortail.

My 2 blade stock prop is worn down pretty bad and I need a new one. I run a stock 35gtr on a 16/54 hull. I mostly run deep water while fishing but during duck season the mud gets bad sometimes when the north wind pushes the water out.
I’ve been told the 3 blade has better top end speeds in deeper water and less vibration but does it perform as good in the shallows and mud as the 2 blade?

I don't have first-hand knowledge but I've heard that

is true. But, it does not

. However, it gets the job done in the mud.

I have a modified 37EFI and run "the hammer" prop. It does quite well but you have to have the torque to spin it.

If running a stock 35hp just stick with the old powertech stock 2 blade.

The 35s never swung a 3 blade well.
