Tons, as well as many folks on this site.

Let us know your set up and performance numbers and we'll all try to help.

In a nut shell, the M+ is better suited for larger boats with more HP than the boats the Laser 2 would run on.

Call us if you wish to dicuss specific information.

What size were you considering, I have a few Mirage and Mirage plus, that I may consider trading one for a Laser.

I have a 21 Mirage Plus, and a standard 21 mirage, I would like to keep the standard, since it turns a few more RPM's on my boat(outboard). I wouldnt have a problem with you trying, if you paid the shipping(both ways if you decide to return).

In my experience, if a laser has enough blade area to hold / doesn't slip too much, you'll lose speed going to a mirage plus... if you're cavitating the laser then a mirage will hook up better, but still probably not be faster on the top end. imho
