Does anyone know the particulars on this prop?
Who made it and what would be expected for performance. Seller claims it is by Merc. P/N HC-CL24R, but I've never seen anything like it and the part number didn't register. I looking for a four blade, to try on my Baja 240.

That prop will produce alot of stern lift and (unless your drive is real deep) may slip or blow out on planeing. Can't hurt to try it, but I don't know if it will be the ideal prop for you. Just make sure the deal is contingent on you testing the prop.

Thanks for all the help guys. I wish I could demo for free, but the ebay seller might not go for that!
I'm running a Mirage 21P (std) now with a Mirage 23P (std) and a Mirage Plus 23P ready to test. I've experienced considerable slow plane times and bow rise and think that a four-blade is the way to go.
The 21P Mirage runs 5200 rpm at 72 mph (speedo, probably about 68 gps). Need to lower the rpm's a bit and not kill the hole shot. The prop I really want to try is a 24P Bravo 1. So if anyone has one collecting dust... drop me a line.
