Four blade or three blade prop

I have an 18 bass boat with a 150 HP evinrude. I plan on taking it into the merrimack by the mouth and try for some stripers.

What do you think about prop choice. Im thinking the four blade so I can get on plain quicker but was wondering other opinions.

Thanks

Your 3 blade will give you more speed and lift on your bow...the 4 blade will be the better overall or safer so to say, giving you a better hole shot and bite..
