I had a mirage 23 and a mirage 25 for my 22 Scarab with 7.4L EFI. I could hit the rev limiter with the 23 pretty easily at 4600 RPM. The 25 was much slower to plane and topped out around 4550 RPM with a higher top speed by about 2-3 MPH.

That was my experience yesterday -- I was bouncing off the rev limiter at around 4600-4800 rpm with the 23 Mirage Plus, and hitting an indicated speed of 63-64mph. The 23 got the boat out of the hole faster than the 25, though I didn't feel much difference in the midrange. The 25 Mirage Plus is slower out of the hole, but tops out at 4200rpm, and gives me an indicated top end of 67-68 -- probably not very accurate, but there's a 3-4 mph difference there between the 2 props. I'd still like to try a 4-blade 23 or 24 (?), since my 22 4-blade is clearly not right for the motor.
