What is the performance with the new Black Max prop AND the foil?

In reading some more reports, the foil does help even with the raised height for this specific model.

Note prop selection is very complicated. Need to factor boat hull, gear ratio, and the prop's blade design which is different for each prop model.

In the limited data I am seeing, it appears the Black Max 15" may not be the right prop for your boat.

I read one owner who has same model, different engine, went with a larger diameter, smaller pitch prop for better results.

If you had to pick between the 4 bladed and the new prop, which would you pick and why? What would be the biggest loss in the chosen prop?
