bblades just told me that the bravo1 was actually better for my app... he said it will give me the dig i want with a little more blade and diameter..... he also said it has a bit more lift of the whole boat for that same reason... he ended by saying i would drop a couple mph of the very top and a rev 4 would be closer to the same but if i got the prop labbed ti would be no different in mph and have more dig then a rev still
with that knowledge i am buying ItsAllgoods 24p bravo 1 that has been repitched to actually make it that big, not undersized like the factory ones.... hoping it all works good and i will still keep the 25p mirage+ if i still want to get the few mph back and dont care about cruise.

I would like to try and REV 4 as well, heard they are ideal.
I had a friend with Solas 25P 4 blade, and it ran 200 RPM less then a Bravo 1 24P. Same handling and characteristics otherwise. Seemed likea cheap prop that worked well.
The solas price is super appealing though!

I guess that depends on your definition of "semi-surface" but IMO I wouldn't use a standard propeller as a surface piercing propeller.
My drive shaft is about 4.5" below the bottom of the boat and I need very little positive trim to loosen the boat up and lift the bow with the Rev4.
