3 bladed prop for 601xlb

Looking to retrofit my 601xlb with a 3 bladed prop. Does anyone have any any experience with purchasing and mounting a three bladed prop on their 601?

And yes, this is a better example where you go from a "fat" 2 blade to a "skinny" 3 blade.  Not a big difference in performance but with the benefits of 3 blades.

We do use them on all Viking engines.  Most geared engines run smoother and might need it for additional blade area due to a lower propeller rpm.
