Hey guys need help
 

Just brought home a 25 outlaw 2000 with 385mpi can someone save me the time and money of prop testing and recomend a prop to get me close i realize there all different but i thought it wouldnot hurt to ask first thanks Randy

Re: Hey guys need help
 

I use a Mirage Plus 23 Pitch 3 Blade Prop. My rig is a 2003 25 Outlaw with a 496HO. I had to have Darin at Houston Propeller lab it and turn it up to a 24 pitch because I was hitting the rev limiter. So I would say Mirage 23 Pitch just like the one I have. I would recomend sending it to Darin at Houston Propeller for labbing. You can phone him at 281-580-prop.

Here are a couple currently on ebaY.

BTW, Congrats on your new purchase

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Not to highjack, but if you are interested I have a 24 pitch bravo prop in perfect shape... $250 plus shipping and it's yours...... I'm not sure if the 25 outlaw prefers a 3 blade or a 4-blade, but somebody should be able to tell ya.... e-mail me at [email protected] if your interested.....

Re: Hey guys need help
 

i didn't know there was such thing as a 24 pitch, thought it went from 23 to a 25?
i run a 23 right now and was tossing the idea of running a 25

Re: Hey guys need help
 

I tried a 25 pitch and it was to much for my 496HO. I'd borrow one from someone before buying and give a try.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

mirages (3 blades) are odd pitches I.E. 23, 25, Bravo 1's (4 blades) are even I.E. 22, 24, 26 each has a pro and a con,, for a 25 o.l. and the best overall holeshot and handling I would say a labbed 24 bravo 1, for best top speed, labbed 25 mirage.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

A 23P Mirage or 22P Bravo 1 will be your best bets.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

I'll check tonight but I'm pretty sure I have a Mach sterndriver 22" 4 blade that is in like new condition (only used a couple of times for testing). I know it would work very well on that boat. My old Outlaw ran the best with a 26" mach. This prop gives plenty of lift and holds the water very very well.

I"ll let it go for $200.00 plus freight.

Let me know at [email protected]

Re: Hey guys need help
 

A labbed 25 M+ is too much prop, IMO.
I had a 25 Outlaw with a 502/415 and a labbed 23 M+ and it was just about right.
So I would think that the 23+ could be turned down just a touch to allow for the 385hp and be close.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

23 mirage is the ticket

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Like I said, labbed 25 mirage or a labbed 24 B1..

Re: Hey guys need help
 

did you get a good deal on it? ;) :D:

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Oh yea stole it my buddy told me i should buy it so i did

Re: Hey guys need help

Re: Hey guys need help
 

23" mirage

Re: Hey guys need help
 

I agree with chris288 25lab I had a502 390hp 4800rpm non lab in 1994 24ol,sport

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Thanks guys i appreciate all the advice thanks Randy

Re: Hey guys need help
 

I've had both, 24 and 25 outlaws, both with 502's and light mods, like cmi's K&N'as and computers, and 23 is the best prop all around for these boats, 25 would be to much labbed or not. And actually a 25 mirage would compare to a 26 bravo, due tue the way they are conservetavly pitched and the smaller diamater, a labbed 24 would be the prop if you wanted a 4 blade, but that boat will have better results all except cruise with the mirage plus 23" and running as close to 5,000 as you can get

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Hey all I am new to the board and always appreciate peoples input. I just got a new 245 w a 496 mag that has a 23 mirage plus and it will sit on the rev limiter with 3 people and a half tank of gas. will labbing the prop to a 24 pitch be the best way to go? I think the rev limiter is around 5200 and the recommended rpm on the 496 mag is 4800. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

If your running 5200 with a 23" you probably be better of with a labbed 25"

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Depending on how its labbed, a 25 could run even higher than a 23.. Best thing I ever tried on my baja was a labbed 26 B1, sure the rpms were a bit low but I got a best ever of 65 mph on GPS, where as with a 23 mirage plus I was usually around 62. hole shot and handling were MUCH improved over the 3 blade also..

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Try a 22" Turbo Vector that's what I had on my 25' with the same power,great prop,ran right at 5050 rpm and ran 67.5 on gps.Precision Propeller 800-922-9955 you won't be sorry.

Re: Hey guys need help
 

Well all I can say is ask the experts, at mercury , or yorks or bronson hill and use trial and error, I tried all those on my 24, with a 502 and light mods and the 26 bravo labbed by bronson hill spun a wopping 4400, The best for me was a 23 spinning 5200 ( rev limiter was raised to 5400), Ive spent money on it and done some research and I almost always return to a mirage, however right now I am running Hydromotive QIV's on my 32

Re: Hey guys need help
 

liquid is right or Bajaneil,If you lab the 23 Mirage it will need pitched to a 24 ,We have found in most cases the 25 labbed or not is just too much prop.Or the 22 Bravo-one works well labbed and pitch to a 23 .The labbed 24 B-1 is a little on the low side even labbed and loaded down,The 3 bld is the fastest,but the handling is nothing near the four bld.It just depends on what you want all out top end or a all around prop.
