Used once in fresh water for 20 min. Prop articles states one of the best 4 bladed prop Merc has cast. There have been threads discussing its attributes. Prop is like new with Flo-Torq hub. As stated 23 pitch, right handed. Will arrive in original container. No dings, no scratches, like new. $450 delivered. Well below cost.

They run just a touch stiffer than stated pitch.

very curious how it would run against a 25 Mirage +

My 18 did not like a Mirage+. It glued the hull to water. Was very, very bad in rough water.:confused: I understand in some application they run good.

You may be familiar with this comment. I bought the + new at Frank and Jimmy's In Lauderdale on their recommendation.

Rev4 23 vs Turbo TXP 25, 42mph @3000 rpm. Four blade vs a three blade. I assume less slippage.

Price reduced. Prop is "shiny new" without any marks, dings or whatevers. Paid over $600 from well known prop shop.

Prop will be shipped in original carton from Merc. $400 plus shipping.

I'm currently running a 23 Mirage+ on a Bravo I 454 mag.
I get about 65mph at 4800rpm.

Is the Rev4 a direct replacement? (hub)

On my 22C the Rev 4 turns about 100rpm higher at WOT than the Mirage. This may be do to the boat having more overall lift with the Rev 4.

I run a 25p Rev 4 with a 25p Mirage as my spare. The speed at WOT (4800-4900) is within 1mph (3blade faster) at 3500 the 4 blade is 3-4mph faster...

You will find the Rev4 to be a nice improvement overall. In fact, I have told Mr. Carter that he would be well served to try a Rev4 on his Red Devil instead of a Hydro. IMO there is no comparison between the two.

Yes. Same hub for Alpha or Bravo.
