Default Mercury Rev4 17P prop for sale

It was new spring 09, balanced at that time. Still looks new, used maybe 12 times. Am replacing with a Rev4 15P, so can get the WOT rpm rating for my engine. My 23 is heavy, and when loaded with gear and 130 gallons of fuel, ice, 2-4 guys, need that 15P Rev4 otherwise would be keeping. Think ou can plan on losing 300-400 RPM of a 3 blade with this prop. I was getting about 5800 RPM trimmed up medium to light load, and my engine can turn 6200.

I lost about 2 MPH off my 3 blade prop, but gained with a lower 12-14 MPH planing speed versus 18MPH~ planing, better low speed handling, and engine can be lifted up a notch I think with a 4 blade, it never cavitated on a high speed turn like my Mirageplus 17P. These numbers are pretty close but from memory last season.

Its an awesome prop .

275 local to cape cod, 325 shipped. Cost me at least 450 balanced and shipped.

Question-do i need to send in 25 for this post? maybe 10 since not a boat?
