My old 00 29 w 454 mags 385 hp went from 24 to 26 4 blade. Lower midrange rpms and better all around.
Might have lost a little off the WOT but after 700+ hours who can complain. O and now its 850+ and Still running strong.

Getting a little fuzzy but I think early 90's, everything was rated at the crank but Merc started publishing both numbers. When things switched from carb to efi I THINK they started rating at the prop. Then I guess went back to the crank with the 496 platform? Really up until a couple of years ago I thought my 496 mags were 375hp at the prop. Anyway, some google searches would probably clear it up since Merc definitely wasn't very consistent. I could be wrong, who knows....

Sorry for the confusion...guess I was misinformed all these years.
