IRONMAN

A 23 mirage+ like storm said would be a good start, I liked my 4 blade bravo1 26 labbed with 500hp 502, 77.5 to 78.5 any day. Probably a 24 would work really well with a 468. My best top end prop when I had the 454 400 Hp Cyclone in the boat was the Hydromotive 24 3 blade that was great in rough water with very little positive trim ran 68 gps @400hp and ran 75gps w 500hp Stay away from the hydro 4 blades, they lift the transom way too much. Try to get the rpms above 5000.

Ok do you think I should just look for a 23 mirage+ in the oso classifides new or used? or may be someone here has one for sale.

I have a 21 Mirage plus, or a standard 23 Mirage that I would sell. BTW, what you have is a standard 21 mirage, the 21 plus may be what you need, as the 23 will knock off some top end RPM.

Do you know what the plus is on the mirage props?

I believe there is more cup, for added sternlift, which also makes it act more like a 23 pitch RPMwise, and it has the removeable plugs to allow some blowout to get RPMs up during planing. Both props ran about the same on my boat, but not quite enough RPm for the outboard, so I am switching to a standard 21(which I already have, or I would offer a swap), with whichever one is left used for a spare. The 21 plus is MINT, and I would like $300+shipping with the flo-torque hub, or $250+shipping if you do not need the hub. If you want the 23, it is an older prop, and not as shiny, but no major damage(just some small nicks here and there), and would let it go for $150+shipping, this is a solid hub prop, so it would obviously include the hub.

The plus has more cup so it bites better and in turn lowers rpms over the standard mirage. The plus also has a little more bow lift.

I knew it was one end, Bow/Stern, whats the diff I have tried so many props, I forget what each does

Tell me about it! I've tried about a dozen props on my 24.

With the narrow beam, there are many good props for it, but some have a mind of their own when it comes to handling, especially when you have 500 pounds hung 10" off the transom, soon to be 18" setback I can't remember which size prop we ran on the Kean Raceboat, but it was a 3 blade mirage, that motor had so much torque it would lift the starboard side even with Big Scotty in the drivers seat when getting on plane, imagine what it did when my skinnyazz 150 pounds soaking wet drove it

I was hoping to try a 23+ If it is too much for my boat I would like to buy your 21+ if it is still available.
