You are correct. 4200-4600. I don't remember when the rev limiter kicks in. I did not see the engine was posted in post 4. Doh!!
I'd wote for a 21"M+ being the right prop for that boat. Get Bblades to lab it to 22". Then it would fly

when I bought mine it was set up with 330hp, I ran the mirage 23 at 4600. bret could lab it for you. that s a m plus. your x is deep. gps could be 60 to 62. my best was after 5 motor builds ending with 650hp 509 and mid 80s with a 2''imco shortie. that was over 19 years of changing set ups on the boat. once you add a shortie you need a b1 prop.

Those are pretty cool numbers.

The reason for me thinking the 21" would work well, is because my experience tells me, the M+ hits lower rpm's than the original Mirage.
