1984 Mooney M20K 231 for sale
"Ken Reed" wrote in message news  How did you find the 3 bladed prop to perform. Many in the Mooney community seem to believe the 3 blade prop reduces cruise speed by about 5 knots. I believe that's only for the four cylinder models. The six cylinder ones (as is Vince's 231) do not suffer any loss of cruise speed. AIUI, the earlier three blade props were not optimal for higher HP/displacement engines...not like he current stable. Also, you could run higher RPMs with a three blade that, with a two blade prop, would could unsuitable noise and vibration.
