4-blade prop selection on 1991 Nautique Excell

[Gustav]

I have a 1991 Nautique Excell with the PCM 351 engine. I am thinking of changing my 3-blade prop to a 4-blade one. What kind should I get, I don't want to over-rev the engine or stuff like that!
I am very gratefull for any answer!

It's a V-Drive if that makes any difference?

Assuming you haven't added a center ballast tank, This Prop (http://www.whitelake.com/catalog/propeller__4-bladed__acme_13_5x17_5x1-1_8rh_2563133.htm) should work fine. You could always call Acme props (or even Correct Craft) for more information. You could also check out Acme's prop selection chart (http://www.acmemarine.com/html/list.html). Keep in mind that by changing to a four-blade, you'll be gaining hole shot, but losing top-end speed.
