both 4 blade aluminum in 19" pitch. Is there any difference in speed, bow or stern lift between the 2?

I am currently using the solas 19" @4600 rpms @ 43/44 mph with the boat in my sig line.

The Amita is a prop with a good reputation.4 blades are said to have stern lift on hole shot and bow lift at speed.
Usually a 4 blade will stay on plane easier at reduced throttle,seem smoother and respond better around the dock.
It may sacrifice a little top end compared to a 3 blade.It is usually suggested to drop an inch when going from a 3 to a 4 blade.
The Hustler is an aggressive prop that produces close to ss performance.You may want to consult with them about dropping an inch in pitch
going from the 19.When going 4 blade Solas to 4 blade Hustler.

The TP Hustlers are fairly aggressive props as I've have 4 or 5 of them. They get you out of the hole fast but rob a bit of rpm's from you at top given their design. For example, I used to hit the limiter easily with a generic Mercury Black Max 21 inch and with the 21 inch TPH there is no way I can get over 4900 rpm's. It also likes to porpoise me a bit more.

Black max alum? Cupped? High rake? If yes to any of the questions you just answered why the difference.
