The Rev 4 (Mercury Revolution 4) I’m running on my Edge 185 with the F150 is 14 5/8″ diameter by 17pitch. This is a big heavy prop but it performs great. My spare prop is a 19 pitch Mercury Spitfire and it is a little faster but way more tempermental, it blows out real easily with the motor mounted in the 3rd hole up. With the Rev 4 you’ll need a special Flo-torq hub. Ricky Bessmen from Brainerd props can get you set up. When I have a prop question, I contact him. Ricky has sound advice and competitive prices. In my previous post I said that with a moderate load Im running 6100rpms trimmed out and consistently hitting 46mph and have hit 47 with the Rev 4 on two occasions. I also bought a second trim anode for my lower unit and cut the fin off and polished it smooth. With hydraulic steering its not as big of an issue, and once your trimmed out at speed that fin doesnt serve much purpose anyways. Yes, there is a water pickup on the Yamaha trim anode and you do need that so be careful not to destroy it if you decide to cut off your trim fin. Thats all the tweeking Im gonna do on this boat, plenty fast for me. Tight Lines

I have a 2017 Edge 185 with a yamaha f150 and f8. Im running a Mercury Rev 4 prop in the 3rd mountin hole up. Im at 230lbs with the kicker, 2 deep cyles and the livewell and gas tank full Ive hit 47 at 6100 rpms. With my family of 4 and two labs i get about 43 at 5800 rpms. The boat explodes out of the hole with this prop if I take it to wide open. I have owned many aluminum boats and this one rides the smoothest hands down. I have found it difficult to get the bow up very high at speed. I can trim mine fully up wide open without blowing it out or porposing. At mid range speeds this boat corners unbelievably well actually scary without coming off plane.

Had mine for two months now. LOVE IT!!! We fish Lake Michigan, Green Bay, Lake Winebago and lakes and rivers throughout Wisconsin. There are 4 of us in my family and two labs. Yeah it gets a little cozy with the 6 of us but hasnt stopped us from catching fish. As for performance im running a Yamaha F150 and F8 kicker. The prop on the F150 is a 17 pitch Mercury Revolution 4 and I get 46.5 at 6050 rpms with a light load. I like Mercury props. Gonna try a Mercury Spitfire 21 pitch X 14″ diameter next. Motor is mounted 3 hole up. Livewell is small but just had 60 crappue in there without issue. I carry a bigger cooler for trout or salmon. Would recomend this boat. Ive had most including Ranger, Crestliner, Starcraft and Other brands of Alumacraft. This is my 5th Alumacraft.
