I don't know how it would work for you but my neighbors 27' Baja with a single 502 had a 23 Mirage on it. I called Bblades for him and and Brett wanted me to try a 23 Rev 4 on it. Doesn't even run like the same boat. Getting on plane was terrible with the Mirage and now it hops on top like a inboard ski boat. He picked up 5 mph at 3500 and 4000 and 2 mph top end. 70.6 at 4800 with my handheld Garmin.

He did some dredging at the ramp Monday but didn't hurt the prop only some metal on the skeg

thanks for the friendly welcome, and yes ill post some pics, and third i wouldnt have bought any other type of boat. i just love these boats and the looks.

the boat gets up and going just fine. no prob at all outta the hole. and it just screams mid range but when i bought the boat i was looking for an 80 mph + and it should i would think with the motor at least touch that. this is what leads me to beleave that the proping is wrong
