Baja 252 with 4 blad 22p
Ok about to buy a Baja 252 has a 454 Mag, with a 4 Blade Mirage 22P on it, said 65mph with out trimming (just hit it for a few seconds and looked and backed off) what prop do most fine the best for this boat? It came out of the water easy. but i would think it could turn a bigger prop, and go a little faster. thanks, had 1/4 tank of gas. 3 people on it. LOVE THE BOAT.
any help to try first?

I bought a 98 252 new with a 454 Mag with a 23 pitch Mirage 3 blade. The 4 blade is a Bravo prop, not a Mirage. Sent my prop to Merc Racing in Fond du Lac and picked up 4mph(71 gps). I really think my motor was built on a Wednesday instead of a Monday or Friday, as it ran very well. I've had my boat 10 years and love it.

3 Blade Mirage Plus will be a better overall prop for that boat due to the conservative X dimension.

I have run several different props on my 252. The labbed 23p mirage plus netted the best top speed. I have a 25p 4 blade hydomotive on it now and i love it. I also have a 24p labbed 4 blade bravo and it is not a lot different then the 25p hydro. ran a 23p hydo as well and lost speed. it all depends on what you are looking to do with the boat.

That f'er used to run good. I put a new 496 in it three years ago and it slowed down. Of course somebody stealing my new drive and labbed prop probably had something to do with that.
When are you gonna be back on the water Kennyo? I'd like to take a weekend with the wife and introduce her to Priest. I miss party cove.

You can definitely pick up more top end moving to a 3 blade. Hole shot should not suffer too much. Congrats!
