[QUOTE=bbladesprops]We prefer the Rev4 on Baja's. So do
most of our customers.

I read this post and seeing I have a 32' caliber I thought I'd give them a try. I have tried Bravo, Hydro's, and Mirages, so whats one more set! Well all I can say is.....You are correct when you said customers prefer them on Baja's, best props I ever had on the boat !!! Thanks for your posting....I wish you would have said it in the begining of summer ! If you did, I wish I would have read it !! The boat has never rode better !!!

BBLADES, Just wondering if you've had anyone put a Rev 4 on a Powerquest 26 Legend running a Bravo/ 454 mag efi stock? I'm currently running a 23 Mirage plus spiining at 4800 rpm at 58mph. I've tried the Bravo 4 blade but gave the boat to much lift. Its a true deep v with no pad.

Thanks

I am telling you bblades knows his stuff. I guess that is what a bunch of years at Mercury Racing's prop division will do for you.

Bblades,

Let me know when you get my set of 25P Rev 4's. I hope you got the demo set back on Friday. I cant wait until we lab them. I have been running those 24P bravos the last two weekends and it is no fun.

302SR1, I have a 302 also w 225 Johnsons.... I am in prop hell with this thing... what pitch are yours? I've tried 22 Turbo 1's, 22 Turbo Ultra's, 22 Laser's, 23 M+'s, labbed 23 B1's.... yada, yada.... B1's weren't too bad... If the Revo 4's solve my *all around issue's*, i'll buy a set in a heartbeat. I need 5500/5600 rpm out of this thing, I tend to run it medium heavy on fuel and passenger load

BBlades, my 302 Scarab weighs 8,000# fueled up w/no passengers, what pitches do the Revo's come in?

thanx, Jim

BUIZILLA,

I am running 25P on my 275 Verados. I went from a 24 Bravo One to a 25P Rev 4. What size Bravos did you try?

crb, the labbed B1's I tried, belong to my gen mgr, he has the exact boat and power that I do. He got them from Throttle Up, they are labbed 23's, originally 24's, and they work like magic on this hull. They were also cut down to 14.5", from 15". I haven't found a set like them yet elsewhere, so that's why I am very, very interested in the Revo's....

Jim

BUIZILLA,

On my boat I don't like the bravo ones. They don't carry the nose and in rough water they wash out. The rev 4's have great bite and settle the back enough to run in good vs airy water. They also carries the nose. With the bravo's my boat looks like it is running nose down. With the Rev 4's it runs nose level to nose slightly up. Plus I got 4MPH at every power setting starting at 4200-6100. I am having bblades lab them so I can pull the full 6400. We should see another 2-3MPH!

I need two 23 pitch LH rotation. I already have a new RH and am running a triple engine setup. Looking for a deal. If everything runs ok then will want to have them labbed.

The Revolution 4 propellers come in RH and LH rotation with pitch sizes from 15-25. We have a complete line available for testing if anyone is interested interested.


BUIZILLA, your 21's will ship tomorrow and you'll have them Friday.


kr1276,
We have one LH in stock but can get another in 1 day. We are very competitive in our pricing. Please give us a call and we can discuss the details of your set up and the possibilities you have.

Curious about BUIZILLA getting 21's when he had been using the higher pitch props. What reasons would cause one to make that big of a change?
