14 5/8 x 23 Mirage - "OEM" Props. They had a few large dings in them when I got the boat so I sent them out to be cleaned up, No major work - just cleaned up. The engines are stock, I think? I bought the boat from a repo yard and have no history on the engines, I belive they are both stock.

I don't know if it's true to think about 2 mph gain in salt water?

Freash water. Lake St. Clair, MI
I have read that people are getting 72mph with a stock set up! I'm not sure how that is, the best I have got was 70.6 - and that way down river, wind at my back, light fuel and light wife!
68mph is pretty much an everyday number.
