Evinrude props Raker HO Vs RX4

[Trickyrick]

I have a 25" Raker HO and am amazed by how well this prop transmits the power to the water. I'm curious is anyone has run Both an RX4 and the Raker HO and what observations they have RPM drop going to 4 blade? Usually 200 RPM but looking for actual testing results. Speed pickup, Handling differences etc.

This is my first 3 blade and am amazed by its performance but might go to an RX4 24" if I can reduce Chine walk a little and get the RPM up around 5850.

Thank you for any feedback

Try raising the motor 1/4" at a time until you gain rpm's but not speed, loose water pressure or bow lift then drop down 1/4" and run it. The higher you can run the motor the less chine walk it will have.
