The boat came with 25 x 3 blade Mirage Plus. I didn’t have a GPS back then so I can’t compare their speed with my current 27’s in terms of GPS, however speedo with the 25’s would read 77mph and now the speedo with the 27’s reads 79-80mph all at 5100rpm.

When I called Bronson Hill about getting some new props they first talked me into trying 26 x 4 blade despite my objections. When I tested the labbed 26’s I was still turning 5100rpm but saw my speedo speed drop to about 74-75mph. I ended up getting the labbed 27 x 3 that I wanted all along. Speedo speed with these props is 79-80mph compared to 77mph with the 25’s.

My only complaint with Bronson Hill is that they wanted to tell me “what I need” vs. me telling them “what I want”.

1997 272 after installing 502MPI on rev limiter with labbed 23 Mirage Plus 74 MPH ( with no hatch or backseat and no fuel so it really doesnt count )

I normally see 70 MPH @ 5100
