It's not that I want to run 4800 but it seems the slip was lower. I am going to try a few things first before any more labbing
1) Try 26P B1
2) Stock lower
3) 1" Spacer
something should pan out
On a side note a potential problem I see is with the box and nose cone I only have 14" clearance from grount to nose cone tip. Any parking lot that has a steep decline, I am ohh so close to dragging the tip. I know I can add a protector to trailer but first off, I'm not sure who could do this and if it would look good or how much. Has anyone had any issues like this before?

You might look at getting a lower hitch on your truck. Just make sure it has the proper load handling rating. If you have room to lower the front and not drag, the back of the boat will raise up giving you more clearance.

I really don't like the feel of the 3 Blade but I had it at the cottage at thought I would try it.....didn't like it.
As Irish said, I may put the stock lower back on just to see what happens. That would give me a 5" drive height, still an inch shorter than stock but will give me another variable to work with.
I am trying to find a 26P B1 to try this weekend.

I am probably at the limit for using the Mirage. Like was said before a 4 or 5 blade prop will most likley work best for you. Let us know what you find out.
