Rev 4 vs. Bravo 1
Both are similar 4 blade props. I've been running a 30p Bravo 1 for years. How does the Rev 4 compare? What are the different handling characteristics?

Mercury is currently developing / producing a Rev 4 27P after releasing their new 350 & 400 Verado's.

I'm told the bravo's will be faster but require the Verado's to be raised, handling will suffer & expect the props to bark in offshore conditions due to the raised height.

I tried out a 25p Rev4 once. I usually run a Lab 30 Bravo and the 25p Rev4 was too small, but it acts bigger than a 25 Bravo, if that makes sense. The prop has a ton of lift, both bow and stern I thought. The Rev4 would be a great prop for mild powered (like 496) boats because it has low slip numbers and good lift. Not sure about outboards though, thats a different ballgame.

Since I need at least a 28p 4 blade, is there an option similar to the Rev4 that I could try to see if there is better performance than my current bblades 30p Bravo 1? Looking for overall lift and more top speed.
