Default is there a 4 blade with more bow lift than a bravo1?

With all my demos of merc props the laser and mirage props gave me the best topend. I really like the planning speed , midrange and cruising speed of the bravo 1. But it apppears the bravo wont lift the bow as much as the 3 blades. The diff in speed between the 3 and 4 blades is almost 5 mph. Is there a 4 blade that will come close to th 3 blade. thanks...sj

Try a Mercury Revolution. It is faster than the Mirage on many boats.

The Rev 4 gives less bow lift than a Bravo 1.

Why not just add a little more cup to the bravo 1?
