Does it say Mirage on it? If not it could be the old stye blades from the 80's. Mirage props are better, Mirage plus has more cup.

Going from a Mirage to a Mirage plus will lower the rpm's by about 150 - 200. If you try to go from a std mirage 23 to a mirage plus 25 you will drop to about 4600 and the boat will be very sluggish in the acceleration dept and probably loose some top end. Look for a Plus 23 or a non plus 25 to try or possibly a Bravo 1 24"
Good Luck

I believe in 1989 Mercury was selling the Mirage. Mirage Plus was a later release that was basically a Mirage with more cup. If it was me, I would work with the prop you have and send it to one of the prop specialist like Brett Anderson. He can put you right on the money with an exact top end RPM and reduced slip. This "labbed" process will cost no more than new prop(s) and will likely out preform any prop out of the box.
