I am thinking I should go up to a 23p, current prop is a mirage 3 blade 21p. Should I be looking for a 23p mirage, or mirage plus? Engine is a stock 365hp 454 mag.

Thanks, Eric

Side note.... I am going to verify if my 21 is a plus b/c in theory if it is I may not gain much from a 23 non-plus from what I've read.

what is your wot ???? i had the same motor back in 1988 ran a 21mirage at 5200 had the prop cup the boat ran the best . now a 21plus you can trun 5000rpm a 21reg not a plus will trun 5200 same thing like a 23plus a 23reg. will trun 200rpm more. . i no this for a fact i tested them mirage props one pitch is 200rpm . i hope that helps you out good luck i been in your spot and try all kinds of prop

I just got the number off the prop and it's a 13702 so I am guessing I have a 21 mirage plus thus my RPMs are about 5k or 4900.

I wonder if I should look for a non-plus 21 or 23??

Does anyone know the non-plus mirage 21 and 23 part numbers?

i run a mirage 23 on my 88 240, with a pretty much stock 7.4 330 (crate motor, 250 hrs). has a holley 850, edelbrock manifold,and imco exaust. wot is 4650, full tank of fuel, three people, saw 59 gps. want to try a 22 b1. a buddy of mine runs a 24 b1 on a 98 24 outlaw, with the 454 efi 365. think he sees 61 or 62 gps. i will check the part #'s on my prop this weekend, the boat is at the marina. i think the 23 is the best all around prop for your boat,imo...

my boat had a B1 22 on it when i got it, was a nice prop and handled great. spinning it to 5400 i saw 62 on the gps. i am currently running a 24 B1 with some cup added to it, and now at 5000 im running 66. been told these boats really seem to handle much better with a 4 blade compared to a 3 as well as give you a better holeshot.

Thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming if you have any more info!

I would suggest trying a 22 Bravo 1. The 24's really respond well to this prop, labbed or not.
