Baja 252 with 4 blad 22p
 

Ok about to buy a Baja 252 has a 454 Mag, with a 4 Blade Mirage 22P on it, said 65mph with out trimming (just hit it for a few seconds and looked and backed off) what prop do most fine the best for this boat? It came out of the water easy. but i would think it could turn a bigger prop, and go a little faster. thanks, had 1/4 tank of gas. 3 people on it. LOVE THE BOAT.

any help to try first?

I bought a 98 252 new with a 454 Mag with a 23 pitch Mirage 3 blade. The 4 blade is a Bravo prop, not a Mirage. Sent my prop to Merc Racing in Fond du Lac and picked up 4mph(71 gps). I really think my motor was built on a Wednesday instead of a Monday or Friday, as it ran very well. I've had my boat 10 years and love it.

3 Blade Mirage Plus will be a better overall prop for that boat due to the conservative X dimension.

I have run several different props on my 252. The labbed 23p mirage plus netted the best top speed. I have a 25p 4 blade hydomotive on it now and i love it. I also have a 24p labbed 4 blade bravo and it is not a lot different then the 25p hydro. ran a 23p hydo as well and lost speed. it all depends on what you are looking to do with the boat.

I think your engine was built by Teague!

That f'er used to run good. I put a new 496 in it three years ago and it slowed down. Of course somebody stealing my new drive and labbed prop probably had something to do with that.:(

When are you gonna be back on the water Kennyo? I'd like to take a weekend with the wife and introduce her to Priest. I miss party cove.

I'm still waiting on a %&^$#*# wiring harness... Maybe next weekend??
Come on up and bring her.Be glad to have ya!

OK bought boat!!!!!!!!!! love it, ran 60 on GPS, wi this pro. I think it has more in it this was at almost 1/2 trim on gauge, and 5000rpms. I think I can cheang and get better of both worlds?? thoughts?

Congrats.

You can definitely pick up more top end moving to a 3 blade. Hole shot should not suffer too much. Congrats!
