I recently added a kicker and the extra weight made me want a different prop.
The 3 blade 13-3/4 diameter 19 pitch Reliance SDS gave a poor hole shot but top speed was 47 at 5600 rpms.
After much deliberation I decided on a 14-5/8 diameter 17 pitch Rev 4 with a Flo-torque IV hub.
Hole shot is much better and the highest speed I have seen so far is 45 at 5850 rpms.
There is a little more clunk when shifting but not bad. I did not notice any prop chatter.
The ride of the boat changed to a flatter ride. more stern lift and less bow lift. The result seems to be a softer ride.
Handling is very good, but was not bad before.
I an able to trim up all the way without problems But prefer the ride at about 3/4 at wide open. Less speed I use less trim.
Gas mileage fell a little from 4.8 to 4.4. But I that could be due more to wind than the prop.
The boat tends to porpoise if I trim up much at lower planning speeds in waves, so I think I am going yo move the motor up one hole to the max height.
Overall I am happy with the Rev 4.
