I talked to a local prop shop in Oakland Ca. There recommendation was a 22 4 blade as it is reving to 5200 rpm. I have a brand new 24 pitch 4 blade yamaha prop off my old boat, which could be pitched down. The yamaha prop is a smaller diameter at 13 3/4. His other thought was a 21 Bravo 1 4 blade. Any one have one of those for sale.

Thanks for all the info on props. This board once again proves its worth. The prop shops have all recommened a Mercury rev 4 19 pitch, so I,ll try it out in a few days after UPS gets here.I brought one from Lightning Bay Marine.

I ran the rev 4 19 pitch today and it was great out of the hole. The revs dropped off to 5000 and the top speed dropped off to 66 from 68. The 21pitch mirage plus that came with the boat has plugged hole at the base. does taking the plugs out help ventilate the prop and make for a better hole shot?
