Another prop question. ..
Currently running a 23 mirage lefty that I picked up cheap because I trashed my hydro 25. Like the feel of the 3 blade..but underproped, bumping the rev limit at about 63 mph at 5200 with a little less than 1/3 throttle to go. Should I go bother trying a 25 or just jump to 27 ? Only thing I miss is it takes longer to plane,wonder if that would improve with more pitch. ..or just go back to a 4 blade...but it seems like a 3 blade would be faster.

I have a hydromotive p5x 24 pitch right hand) that I don't use. I changed my gear ratio and this prop no longer works for me. It is in good cond. (never worked). make reasonable offer if interested. (No hub).
