Well, overall I like the 4 blade props better than 3 blade for sure.
All in there stock form I liked the feel of the Rev 4 best, but I would need a 27p.
Since I had BBlades modify my 28p B1, the prop works great in all conditions and the speed is just as good as a stock 3 blade.
My newly labbed 27p M+ pushes the boat real fast and I'll use it in the Fall when I stay in the river on calm water.

I don't no if this helps I was getting 83.2gps at 5900 to 6000 with a b1 26 prop 2'' shortie drive, my buddys 79SB 24 with a 25p mirage at 5500 was 74gps thats a trs ,I was trying to talk him into a sm3, or bravo he has about 550hp so it looks like he losing 6mph. oh the imco shortie 2'' drive made my boat handle better, fly flat it should help you non step guys I would think. well good luck, I HOPE TO MOVE UP TO A y2k, or 28 joker next year.
I might have to up the ante of my boat!
I think I'm getting bored of my power. I'm cruising around at 4000+ rpms all the time.

Are you saying you're going for more power in your 24' Super or buying a bigger and faster boat???
Dave, I've been running with the 502Mag in my boat for 3 seasons now. I have just about everything to convert it to a 500HP. It's just that she is just running too well to mess with...

I don't really want to spend any more $$ on my boat. Hmmmm, I'm seeing more used Y2Ks on the market......

The same 3 are still here on OSO. 2 of those are out of my league and the other has been painted and left in the water.
