You should really try a 15P enerita eco... what else have you tried on that setup. my buddy had a 23 x 9'6" hydro sport and he is running a 15P enrtia with reasonable results.
Rev4 15P does not get very good reviews.
Check with Ken @ Propgods posts on that one... he says he has never had a good one in the 15P.

I do like Rev 4's, but the 15 pitch for some reason, doesn't hook up like its suppose too. 17+ works great, but ever 15 I've ever sold came back.
The Enertia is a great prop and would likely improve your performance on both ends.
I missed part of your post. I've tried enertia 15p mirage 15p, 17p... enertia eco xp 16.5 and the 17p rev 4. All of them slip like a sob. Got the 15p mirage on it right now because it slips the least but still slipping 23% which I think is still unacceptable. I want to add cup to a 15p rev4 which will reduce rpm but dropping down to a 15p should still get me within verado spec.You should really try a 15P enerita eco... what else have you tried on that setup. my buddy had a 23 x 9'6" hydro sport and he is running a 15P enrtia with reasonable results.
Hey guys the rev4 found a new home. We ended up with a Powertech LFS3. It's a 16" diameter 3 blade prop offered in lower pitches. Got the fuel burn down to 11 gph at cruise at 7% slip and 5% slip at WOT. I love it
Excellent results! Can you tell me what your cruise MPH and GPH was before with the Rev4-15 and now with the LFS3? What pitch LFS3?
Thanks!
Yes sir, the rev4 was a 17 pitch. I think it might have been yours actually? Did you have a funky one from a set of twins that wasn't spinning the same rpm that was exchanged at inlet?
The rev4 was cruising at 28/29mph burning 14 gph in fair weather. Trips across the straight or heavy current I've seen as high as 16.5gph.
The LFS3 cruise at 28mph is 11gph and even with someone with not alot of experience running a boat I seen 12.1 gph with them cruising with the motor tucked in and no trim. The powertech is 14p btw.
