Is this motor mounted too low?

I have seen several recommendations for a Mercury Revolution 4 prop. Anybody have experience with the Rev 4 on a 23 Sceptre? What about a Bravo 1?

Glad you got the height dialed in. 2.5L 200's are very nice motors.

I ran a Rev4 on my 23 with a 225hp 3.0L Mariner a while ago. The 3.0L was way too thirsty for my taste, so I didn't run it very long. Mid range cruise and low speed operation is great with the rev4. It has a ton of stern lift and almost never blows out. It's not the fastest prop if that's what you are chasing. I think you'd like a 17P enertia (not the GIANT ECO enertia).
