It came with 26 pitch hydromotive 4 blades, but they are having a tendancy to blow out and cavitate. I'm going to tyry 4 blade bravos this w/e.


Run 3 blade mirage +'s. My old 28 came with bravo 4 blades, I switched to the mirages and it ran much better. Required less trim and flew very level. I spoke with both Bobby Saccenti and Eric Froberg. They both said the boat was built to run the mirage's.

CFD5--- That's great info, I wouldn't have thought to go back to 3 blades, as the 4 blades seem to work better with everything else. Now I've got to figure what pitch -- I guess I'll start with a 27 and go from there?

How much difference between the Mirage plus and plus racing? Are they cupped different or labbed already?

mine had old style mirage. not mirage plus. stock power ran 73 mph.

I was told, the boat was made for the Mirage plus. Froberg said to have them labbed my Merc. I had 450hp 454's and ran labbed 25P mirage plus. Turned them to 5500. It would have been better with 27's but I sold the boat.
