Default Center Console Prop Opinion/Recommendation

Boat is a 2017 Sunsation 29 CCX Center Console ( The Hull is nothing more than the 288 Sunsation stepped hull)
Factory data - Twin 200HP Verado's, props spin outward, 2.1 gear ratio -- boat ran 60mph, @ 6000rpm 30 gal. of fuel on board with 2ppl in light chop with Mirage 23P (3 blade) Engines are on last hole as deep as they can go

Props were replaced by the last owner he said the Mirage 23P's were horrible out of the hole and would blow out if it wasn't babied till it got on plane
New props Rev 4 21P (4 blade) with about the same fuel load and 2 ppl -- boat runs 54mph at approx. 5900rpm

For such a light boat @ 4200lb it still has a mediocre hole shot even with the Rev 4's you need to baby it till it gets moving which is surprising at least to me. The guys at FJ propeller said they are not impressed with the Rev 4's and would recommend a Bravo FS. I am looking for any other input before I drop $1500 - $1600

I may ask Jesse or one of the guys at FJ if they would take a quick ride for their opinion and just buy the props from them and pay the few extra dollars for their expertise!

Appreciate any thoughts or ideas.
