The power i have in the boat is merc 420s and trs drives. Im not particularly looking for top speed but thats always a plus, but if it increased my cruising speed would be even better. Thanks for the input.

Look up Bret At BBlades .... He helped me out with my 311 ... I told him what i was trying to accomplish and he gave a couple of ideas .... matter of fact he went as far as lending me the props I needed to try until I got the right ones all I was charged was shipping and when bought them it was taken off the bill. You can't lose with him.

He has 25+ yrs of Mercury R&D background then went out on his own.
Great customer service!

Good Luck !!!

What about standard 25 mirage+ 3 blades?

After this weekend i know exactly what he is talking about. I couldn't turn those 26's past 3600 rpm and getting up on plan took me for ever. My cruising speed was up a few mph, so need less to say ill be putting my 25 back on.
