New 27 SR1 Owner
 

I recently purchased a 502 Mag, 27' 1995 SR1 and really like the boat so far. It running a 21p Mirage currently running around 60 at 5k. Anyone running a 23p Mirage+ or something else on these to get some more top end?
Going to be pulling off the silent thunder too, hopefully that will help it breathe...

We love pics! I had a 93 with a 502 as well, same numbers as you, 21p, 60mph and 5000 rpm, Yours being a 95 I'm assuming its a fuel injection, and you should have a extra mph or two

Yea, I'm assuming that the 23P Mirage+ will bring down the RPMs, into a less than 5k realm, and pop up the top speed mph maybe 63-64?

I don't think the 4 blade would be any better. Seems like the Mirage+ are hard to beat...

Maybe, IMO with that motor you will not wanna be much less then 4800 for maximum performance, 23+ may drag it down more then u really want, but find one to borrow and see, a 4 blade will bring your cruise up but definitely hurt the top, depends on how often you like to pinnit

Not really looking to pin it all the time, but good to know that I have the best prop on there when I want to...
Maybe a none 23P might work well. I haven't heard from any other owners with the same setup...

Planning on doing a wrap on the sides this fall...

Hi Congratulation with a nice boat :-)

I have a 271 92 model with 2009 496 HO and Bravo1xr, No Silent Thunder Box ( bottom Paint)

Best I have seen so far is 62 mph gps, with a standard Mirage 23+

I have a Bravo1 24 (tweeked a litle bit) best result 61 mph gps

I had a goal 63 mph, but not there yet.

Very happy with the boat :-)

That looks very nice Monaco20...I am hoping to get out 1 or 2 more times before season ends. I have a line on a labbed 23 Mirage, might try that.

Are you from NJ?

Yes, in NJ

Which area do you boat?

Manasquan River to Barnegat Lighthouse basically...

Congrats! Nice to see more owners from the Jersey Shore. Good luck with the 271

That's is where IDCE and I do our boating too. We have a group of Formula's that meet up on a regular. If your on Facebook look up Formula Owners of NJ or check out the website http://www.formulaownersofnewjersey.com Always looking forward to meeting new Formula owners.

I was able to take it out this past weekend with all the warm weather, but found that the fuel tank is full of crap, looks like rubberized old fuel. Looking into cleaning and draining the tank. Hope this is not a bigger issue. This is the boat with the graphics removed now...

All white 271.... Gotcha...will keep an eye out

I kind of always liked all white boats, gives a very clean look. Also the boat looks bigger all white
Also the heigt seems higher, which I think looks good on a boat as sleek and low as the Formula
