Rod - I cannot help with pitch because I am running a Suzi (they run lower gear ration, and swing a huge prop) but I CAN tell you I recommend a four blade.  I have driven a few different boats, and tried some props on mine... the best I have used is Powertech - it grips great and does not blow out in turns as much.  As you know, FBs are prone to sliding, and this prop helps.
