Prop Question for 26' Nova Spyder

[grand lake]

Just Purchased 1988 Wellcraft Nova Spyder W/ Twin 350 Mags. It Has Some Engine Mods, Just Not Exactly Sure What They Are. I'm Guessing Maybe 300 Hp Each.

Engines Turn About 4,800 To 5,000 Depending On Load.
Is That About Right Or Should I Step In Pitch. Current Props MIRAGE 22 Pitch.

According to to Specs that motor has WOT of 4400-4800 ..you might can go up a pitch ... I am sure Julie or Matt will chime in .....

Since it looks like i need to step up to 23p props. According to the boat specs this boat weighs 5300 lbs, is the mirage a good prop for this boat.

I have a 26 Nova W/ twin 454's . After extensive prop testing I have found the 3 blade Mirage props work best on my boat .

Bravo 1 4 blade props work fine , 3mph loss compaired to the Mirage.

If your looking for a clean set of 23 mirage props I have a set .

$450 shipped .

Mirage propellers are often the best props for your boat. They allow the most bow lift and typically have the best top end speed. Bravo 1 propellers will give you better cruise speeds and put you on plane a little faster as well as keep you on plane at lower rpms.

Mirage propellers don't come in 22 pitch. Look at the part number on the prop to determine if it is a 21 or 23 pitch casting. You should be able to step up in pitch 1-2 inches.
