I have a 20' cigarette, round bottom, TRS drive, that I have a recently upgraded 454. I had Lamar Walden build a 605 hp, na motor, midgrade gas. I have a Mirage + 27, that I will run initially when I splash the boat, and get some data. I know there are numerous 20' Cigarette running around with more or less the same setup and wanted to get some recommendations on what props work best.

Mine liked a 25 Mirage LH with a healthy small block 5500 RPM.

That particular 3 blade is a great starting point, especially if it is stock and not touched.
A custom 4 blade propeller may be the best all around prop once you get base line info.

Very cool boat! Enjoy and let us know if we can help with other questions.

Thanks! Yes, by all indications it is a stock, untouched 27 mirage +. It will be interesting to see what the optimum combination with emerge. I will keep you posted on the results and look for some recommendations. I was always wondering how the 4 blades would run with a trs with this setup .? I ran a hydro motive many years ago and it was not very impressive. I will keep you posted. Randy
