My friend had a 24 Pantera and the Hydro was the best prop for it - in fact I still have that prop in the swap section. He soon upgraded the motor.

Well I got to try the Rev 4 this weekend and my it was much better than a Bravo on my boat. Ran looser than a Bravo, much better bow lift and didn't lug the rpms down as much. I was actually surprised that I was able to pull the rpm I did with the prop. Very little slip too!

The Rev 4 seems to work well for ya.
Only 1-2mph slower than a 3 blade Mirage is really good.
I ran a 27p Turbo Fusion 4 last year which has a smaller dia than a B1 like the Rev 4. It was 2+ mph slower than my labbed B1 though. Stock vs. stock they may have been the same.
Brett did tell me he's seen that the Turbo F4 is 1-2mph slower than the Merc Rev 4.
I guess the Rev 4 is a real good 4 blade design for our old school hulls. Too bad they don't make a 27p...

Yeah for a box stock prop I was impressed. Prop was very stable and carried the bow well. I think I'll grab the Rev 4 for the bigger lakes and keep the Mirage for the smaller lakes where I do mostly WFO blasts.
Hopefully they will make bigger sizes down the road.

IMO, the REV4 is the closest to a "4 blade Mirage" prop I have tried.

I want to keep them- they work great on my boat but would be willing to ship it out to you to use for a bit vs. buying one as long as you share the data...
(This is what Mike did for me but I liked them so much he let me buy them from him, however I would not sell them or at least not seperate if it came down to it..)
