Default 25p Rev 4, I like it!!!

The boat:
1995 Python Vector
24 x 7 hull, 540 cid N/A engine approx 625 HP

Results from a few different props:
24p Bravo 1: 5700 rpms and pretty stable 77
used prop
25p Mirage+ cut to 14" diameter: 5950 rpms 81.5
prop handles well just not enough pitch
26p Turbo txp: 5550 rpms chine walking bad 84 mph
would slip bad on turns or if any weight was in boat
26p Turbo 1 5600 rpms chine walking 86 mph
2nd favorite prop and fastest, all around good prop, just chine walk problem
25p Rev 4 5700 rpms pretty stable 82.5 mph
The Rev 4 is now my favorite prop of the bunch. It planes faster, has good cruise econ, and boat handles better at high speeds. Even though I lost 3 mph on top end.

my 2 cents, Lee

I love the Rev 4 on my boat. I would also try a Turbo Lightning 3-blade. More rake than the Turbo 1 but less than the TXP.

Me too!!!

It's superior a standard Bravo in every way, top speed, acceleration and especially handling!

I'm thinking of getting a labbed one, but need to test a few more things first.

+1 on rev4. AMAZING acceleration. Helps fuel mileage. Really pushes boat along nicely/quickly at idle. For me I picked up 2 mph over the same pitch Mirage Plus.

Do these have removable hubs. Can I put my XR hubs in them? Do you have Pics?

Thanks
Mark

Hi,

Rev4 25 labbed been my best prop. 81-82 mph at 6,500 - 6,600 rpms. Picked up 1,5 mph cutting tube down with 1,2 inch. Phantom 25 with Verado 350 sci. Great cruise too - 49 mph at 4,000, - 62 mph at 5,000 rpm. Milage 4,67 mpg at 4,000 rpm and 5 mpg at 3,500 rpm. Will test TxP this summer

Cheers Toffen

What was made to them when labbed? What was the difference before and after?

Hi,

The prop was balanced and had extra cup added so it can be surfaced higher. Unfortunately I bought the prop second hand so I have no figures before and after. However, I cut down the exhaust tube with 30 mm last spring - and that translated to 1.5 mph higher speed. Much more bowlift.

Very good prop. Testet a stock Bravo one 26 prop. Much less bowlift. Can be surfaced higher (1,5 inch) before breaking over, but got substantial less speed. 76 mph vs 81 mph.

Cheeers, Toffen

Edit: props are sold so this is not a round about way ad.
