The 300 h.p. 454 max rpm is 4600 if I remember right, I used to have a hammer with a 454 and a bravo 22'', it was on the rev limiter and real good hole shot but I lost 3-4 mph from 23 mirage

Revolution 4 is 19-23 pitch.. Might work if you can find one to try..4 blade give excellent hole shot,,tremendous midrange power, but usually are a bit slower,,,however with props you never know until try...

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.

I paid $465 for the Rev 4 blade. Call Mike Flannigan at Lightning Bay Marine
727 822-4470. Give him all your specs and he will help with the right pitch.
Good luck . Mark

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?
