Prop Talk??
Ok, going with all of the prop talk lately I have a couple of ??'s.
My set up 1994 283Convincor
fresh 99 502mag .30 overbore with 99spec stock roller
valve train.
spinning factory 23p mirage
So far my best speed has been 61mph(gps) 64mph(spedo) this is with 3/4 tank of fuel one cooler and two adults. @ 4800-4900rpm's.
Which way do I go? Been thinking a 24p mirage or a 24 hydro.??
Or do I need to go to a 22p mirage??
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

I'm running a 24 labbed Hydro on my 23 Check. It has 450hp and turns 4800rpm. I lost about 200rpm from the 23 Mirage but as MXZ800 stated it rides much better. So now I can run a safe 72 as opposed to a wild 75 ride.

Tinker, I just had a new motor installed. Kinda figured I'd see alittle more speed from it. But also wanted to stay as close to stock as possibly I'll probably sell the boat in a year or two. Got bigger itus
checkmate981, I love the 283 handles most water I see very well but as stated above we are looking at 30' plus and twins!!
