Now that engines are done need to look at propping again...

What worked best top end? All around?

What was HP, rpm and gps speeds you saw?

I always thought 3 blade mirage was best but seems a few have liked hydromotives?

For Top Speed the Hydromotive Quad IV is a great prop. They lack a little in the mid range but are great for big heavy "V" Bottoms like the Mistress. Plus they are right in our back yard in Macedonia, Ohio. If you are in the 650-680HP range a 26-27 would be the starting point. I ran them on a 38 KV Scarab and 38 Top Gun with that power with great success.

Why do I think a 26 Bravo would be a good set to try? Ran good on big heavy 40 Ex with 650's. 75mph
