Nordic makes a great quality boat and you will be very pleased with the fit and finish of a Nordic. I know you were probably joking, but remember Sea Doo's will be beating you or at least be running right along side of you in this boat. Many of those little rockets will blow you away. There is nothing you can do about that. The fact that this boat has a 350 makes me ask about the drive. What is it? Be real careful on this boat unless it is a Bravo. You do not want anything else. For the kind of money you are spending, I just bought a 100mph Eliminator, 28' long with two 496HO Mag engines, a nice size cabin and a guaranteed Sea Doo beater. Have you thought about looking right here on OSO at used? A lot more bang for your buck. It is very easy to have a boat delivered to you. IMHO. Good Luck
Any recommendation on the type of propeller?

Hi JFT, I have been admiring Nordics as well. Quite a few of them in my area and the quality is good. Solid boats. But the deals are fantastic. Have you checked their site? You can get this really clean 2007 25' Rage for mid 40k USD with only 77 hours. 496 HO/Bravo:

Yes, slower than a lot of jet skis but so are most things these days. Try mixing drinks for three on a Jet Ski.
I'll add this from their site:
"The Rage will dazzle you with a 75 miles-per-hour top end speed if you choose the Mercruiser 496 HO / Bravo 1 engine package. "
So, the 25 rage does 75. Would the 22 with the same power be slower? Probably not.

The rage 496ho likes the Bravo 1 26p, preferred labbed. I run a simular spinelli bros 4 blade 27p with best results. With your 22' losing some weight and length you'll be doing some testing for sure. I'd suggest calling brett at BBlades.

I live in the United Arab Emirates and when I arrive in Canada for the Holidays, will only have one month to enjoy the boat.
If I can, I would prefer purchasing now the most likely Prop that will do the trick as opposed to having to wait, arrive there, test the stock one, and ultimately not have time to place an order and receive the new prop and only enjoy a week or two with it.
My goal is to find the prop that will give me the best top speed.
Thank you in advance for your input.
