Personally I wouldn't run the boat with the mismatched props, certainly no hard runs until they are matched. Maybe look for a pair of 4 blade Bravo Ones- watch the swap shop for deals..
Enjoy the new ride,

Brett from Bblades said the geometry on the props is the same, just the hubs are different. Wondering if there is much if anything to be gained by labbing/cleaning them up? Again, with 7.4's I'm pretty limited as to what I can turn.
I would say, after running the M+ 23p props again last weekend, I prefer them over the Bravo 1's...at least to the point that I OWN these props, cruise is right there with the B1 24p, top speed is better, just have more slip out of the hole.

slip out the hole is easer on the drives too 
I have 25p m+ and if I keep under 3k coming out the hole, they don't slip bad and she still walks right up.. This heat is playing a large role on mine.. Lost about 600 r's that I would like to get back. I want to find some 25 rev 4's to see how she like them..
Have you tried spinning in?? KeithAtlanta who has done lots of testing claims our hull likes it! lots of bow lift...(he has 342)

I'm back to running 23p Mirage + that came with it. We had 7 adults in this weekend and it did fine. Took a little longer out of the hole, but just slightly, certainly NO issue. I think I've come full circle back to these props being fine. Might see if there is a local shop that can polish them up again and just be good with it. Again, the boating conditions at LOTO are such on the weekends that mid range 45-50 mph is the max running speed without scaring passengers or making it uncomfortable. Any other lake going 70 might be the only thrill you'll get in a boat like this. LOTO is more about wave crushing fun.

Well.. I am stumped...
Pushed them to 4800 at 63 with 5 adults, 4 kids and a few coolers. Just over a half a tank. Both 23 and 25 not getting boat out of water.. but picking up +800 rpms and being heavier. ??? Well good thing is, nothing wrong with engines.. have to figure this prop thing out. I'll start a tread to get some input.
