i bet the lab 24 will be great over all.

With the right lab, yes, that's what all the experts say. With the wrong lab like the last one I ran they won't carry the bow. The boat ran too wet at higher speeds. Cruise was fantastic though.

Rev 4 is going on this weekend. I'll throw a couple of other props in the truck but probably won't pull the boat out to put 'em on if this prop runs like I think it will.

cool, keep me posted

The Rev 4 performed great! It's a couple mph slower than the Mirage +, but in EVERY other respect it's a superior performer.

what about having brett lab it, that should get you more speed. if you were at top rpms I bet brett could lab the rev 25

He says he can get me the lost speed with a labbed B1, but the Rev doesn't respond as well to labbing. The 25 would be too much prop (even labbed) as I could only turn the 23 at 4800 or so.

Honestly I don't care too much about that last couple of mph as I rarely run WOT anyway (usually only when testing props). He's going to lab me a 25p M+ for when I feel the need for speed. For a stock prop though the Rev 4 may be hard to beat on this setup. This was the first time since buying this boat last August that it's responded to trim input the way it should. I think (but don't know) that the extra rake in the blades helps carry the bow which these boats need. Holeshot was good, cruise was great. Was very happy with the overall performance of it. I'm going to run a stock 24p B1 this weekend for comparison purposes (and to get some baseline numbers before I ship it to Brett).
