gas mileage ?
have 454 mpi in my 98 253 with a 23 p mirage prop put about a hour on the boat today just cruising around mostly about 35 mph and went through about 100 bux in gas is that right? I was thinking about putting a 25 or 26 4 blade on it. I am thinking that will help th fuel mileage alittle.

I would not go any higher then a 24p bravo 1 4 blade. If you have a stock 454 in that 253 a 26p will be to much prop. That 23 sounds about right for your set up
How much are you paying for a gallon of gas

A 25p will be to much also if you are stock in your boat. A 24p bravo,, I really think will be pushing it to much.
You say you have a 23 turnning a hair under 5000 rpms maybe 22p bravo 1 4 blade would be a better choice the more I think about it.
What HP is your engine
