Rev4 delivery? You and BBp goin' for a test ride...

Absolutely! BBP you almost here buddy?

Your GPS was installed just in time!

I may have had a little motivation to get it done this past weekend

Brand spankin new

She's a beaut!
Looking forward to your results.

I love shinny stainless
Aslan WE are going for a ride. Get that big bad plane over here. I'm off Friday!
I hope that rev works! I loved that prop. I will be interested to see the rpms. I'm hoping it turns it to the max!

If it were not for a certain military commitment, I would love to test with you guys!

I freaking love this Rev 4! Much better bottom end, and I lost 400 rpm up top but no speed

RPM - Trim - Mirage MPH - Rev4 MPH
2000 - full down - 9 - 12
2500 - full down - 22 - 26
3000 - 1/2 - 32 - 35
3500 - 1/2 - 38 - 42
4000 - full up - 46 - 49
4500 - full up - 51 - 56
WOT - full up - 60@5150 - 60@4750

Mercury prop slip calculator shows me at 20% slip with the Mirage and 13% slip with the Rev4.

With those numbers, would you stick with the 23p or drop to 21p?

Btw I'm literally floating on the lake and posting this

Very cool T550.
How is your hole-shot with the Rev4?

It's great! I feel like I can accelerate out of a u turn from a standing start faster than I could accelerate in a straight line with the Mirage.

Then the Rev4 is a no brainer then?

I think I said a 21p awhile ago. I think that's what you need to go with. Your going to crap once you get a 21 on it. You should keep your top end and gain bottom and mid-range. Yes that's going to get better. What is your wot rpm supposed to be 5k I can't remember that spec. I think it's 5000. You will be just about right I think. You can trim the Heck out of that prop.
Congrats love the shot and I bet there's a grin somewhere in that picture.lol

After thinking about it all afternoon, my only hesitation with the 21p is that assuming the same 13% slip, I'd have to hit 5200 RPM to see 60mph, not sure if that's realistic. I did see 5150 with the Mirage this morning, which surprised me since I thought my year 502 was only good to 5000 RPM.

Yes, there was a grin on my face, felt like a whole new boat. It was great being able to cruise at 2800 RPM too, it felt effortless!
