A 23" rev 4 also. My 251 likes the bow lift from that prop more than the bravo props.

On my 251, a mirage 3 blade was1mph faster wot, but the 4 blade was much better out of the hole, doesn't porpoise as bad & doesn't blow as easily as the three blade. Makes it feel like a completely different boat

As miller high life said, 4 blade will have better hole shot, better handling, just a touch slower top end. you will want a right hand rotation, this counters the engines rotational torque on the hull.
We need to know what gps speed, rpms and prop you are running now to help pick the next prop

I have a 4 blade Mach stearn driver,not sure of pitch.i would much rather have better handling,and hole shot,over top speed.i don't have anything to compare the current Mach prop too.i am done with the boat till spring, than I will have to check speed,rpm a little closer.thanks
