For a start, we put 21 Mirage's on my friends 88'

Just picked the boat up, has 21p on it now. Just wondering what other owners are running. Thanks

I would be curious myself. My friend just got his 357, and these were on it when he got it. Hopefully you'll get some feedback here!
The mirage's do work nice on the boat, but if there is something better, they will become spares!

Try a Bravo 1 22 or 24

The older boats seem to like the three blade props, but I,'m sure there are 4 blade props that would work well with this set up. Hope to get more input from some other 357 owners. We also have a 1990 29 Fountain Fever with twins, running 25pitch mirage, work great, but this Formula is a totally different machine. Thanks for the feedback. Planning on trying her out tomorrow, let you know how she runs.

A large majority of my friends are running 311 Formula's. They are all switching over to 4-blade stainless, and having great success with them. Multiple diff. benefits have been discovered from using them. A set of 22's wouldn't be so bad, I'm afraid 24's may be a little steep.

I agree 24 maybe to much. How about a 23 mirage?

We sea trailed a 357 with 502's and 24 b1's 72 mph on gps before we pick up the 382 . The 382 had 23 mirages on it when we got it went to 24 and picked up 3 mph and better plane time .

Had a small set back today, but hope to be back on the water soon. Thanks for your help, I thought the 4 blade props might be better on a heavy boat at mid range. Just trying to take some of the guess work out it, I'm sure someones done alot of prop changes till they find which runs best overall, lets face it, it's not a race boat, but it sure is nice.
