I tested a Rev/4 23p on my Baja 23' hull and came to the conclusion that the Bravo/1
provided a more "controlled & responsive" ride than the Rev/4.

The Bravo/1 has a larger diameter, and less rake than the Rev/4. These differences were most noticable with throttle ressponse and hull attitude. Although I don't get a lot of WOT time offshore, the Rev/4 made chime walking a whole lot "easier" when running behind the breakwater.

We still find the Revolution 4 propellers out perform the Bravo 1 props in stock configuration on most Baja hulls.

BB so what about the Rev on a 26 Powerquest. Tried a labbed 22p Bravo 1 4 blade and the boat just didn't handle as well as the 23p Mirage Plus.

The Rev's should be better than the B1's. We have them to test with if you are interested.

So if I'm running a 23 Mirage Plus should I drop down to a 21 in the Rev??? What Can I expect out of this prop. The PQ didn't much like the labbed 22 Bravo 1.

the 23 revo is headed back to brett this morning.here are my results.was running 23 mirage at 67 mph at 5100 rpm.could only pull 47-4800 rpm with the revo and 63-64 mph.the boat did handle alot better and cruise mph picked up 4 mph.i had alot of issues with the bow bouncing up/down.the revo took most of that away.maybe a labbed 23 revo or 22 b1 maybe the ticket.brett i will contact you later today to discuss my test.everyboat is different,this prop may work better on another boat than mine.this is why we use "test" programs

I bought a Rev 4 23 on ebay. It was a good deal so if I don't need it I can flip it.

awesome,

Your slip dropped 1.5%. This is good. However, Labbing the propeller will only net 150-200 rpm in order to maintain that number. This means the top speed of the M+ will most likely not be bettered. If cruise is the most important, the Rev is the answer. Otherwise the Mirage Plus will be tough to beat.
