Rev 4 better be a stern lift or I will be ticked off.

Prop Gods and others recommended the Rev 4 for stern lift.

In fact here is what he posted on his web site for me last October

As for props, I'd go with the Revolution 4 19 pitch. It will give sternlift, let you plane at slower speeds, probably ride better in a head sea.
You will likely loose a couple mph on top end though. You would probably be right at 50, maybe 49.

Powertech also makes a good prop, the OFS 4 blade. a 19 pitch would work well on that style too.
I don't think they bite as well as the Rev 4's, but sometimes they give a little more sternlift.

Fuel economy would be a little better at midrange cruising, at fast cruise speeds, economy would probably be worse.
Handling and manuverability around the dock would be improved as well.
