Finally stop raining:D :D :D
Had it out both day's this past weekend.
I can't believe how good it runs, although I need to re prop.
Running a 25p Mirage plus. Cavitates if you don't come out of the easy. Also tends to porpoise.
Buy the end of the second day I couldn't resist a quick WOT run.
Ran 68mph (on speedo) @ 4600.
Think I should go Bravo 1 or hydromotive?????
I will try a Bravo as I can demo them for free from my dealer.
I'm thinking a 24p???
Any suggestions?????????

Convincer,
That boat looks GREAT!!! It does remind me of all that I did to mine years ago. Offshore mounts, etc..
Depending on your x demension .. The 25 Mirage worked best for me. But with higer x.. a four blade is recommend. I would try a 24 Bravo and then see if you can find a labbed 24.. that would raise the rpm about 300rpm they say. Also look at the hook in the bottom of that 25'. The molds did put a bit of hook in.. dont take too much out, or you will run into problems.. Let me know if you want more info.. on the bottom blue printing.. I will share my experience..

Just plain Awesome.. now about 700hp and you will be Mr. Big in your area!!
