so I have a Bennington Q25 with the Verado 350. Stock prop is the Enertia 17P 3 blade. Wanted a spare prop and my dealer recommends the Mercury Revolution 4 blade 17P.
They claim better hole shot and better fuel economy! I’m going to compare it to my current prop. See how it stacks up! If I like it, I may keep it for my every day use.
I have not run it at WOT since I put the prop on. It did improve the hole shot and picked up 1-2 mph at the 3000 rpm cruise range. It is great for the water sports. We mostly get to a cove and anchor. What is fuel economy in a boat. Last year my Dad came to Lake Cumberland and we went to State Dock for him to relive memories of boating in the 70's. I stopped at Conley Bottom and put $100 of fuel in the boat. Got to State Dock and Jill bought a sweat shirt and I put another $100 of fuel in.

I tried it for a weekend. Lost about 5MPH in too end speed. Didn’t notice a difference in whole shot or low speed maneuvering. I keep the Revo as my spare prop and put the Enertia back on
My friends and I had good results with mid range speed and mid range fuel economy on the Enertia ECO compared to the Enertia. It is bigger diameter. Lost 1-2 mph on top end. We were able to raise the motors one hole with the ECO.
