Well, I went and bought a Mercury Mirage Plus, 14.75 X 21. I have heard nothing but awesome things about this prop. Now I just wish the river would fill up so I can run it!!!

big bird how did that prop work for you i have a the same prop on my 87 241 with a bravo 1 and 454 last year i could 4200 and run about 50 sent the prop to the shop to have it cleaned and polished this year i can twist 4500 but only now get 40 so not sure wtf is up with that

thats a great speed on your boat, i dont know much about the 222's but i think they are alot lighter the 241s i think most 241s in stk form get low 50s from a stk 454 or 460. I need to pull my prop off and see whats going on cause unless he messed something up i should had not lost mph while gaining rpm. before it was running like 17% slip and was really scuzzy looking lots of left over marine growth on it that just would not come off, the blades felt like sandpaper so i figured that was causing some of the extra slip. had no changes asked for just a polish and balance, prop looks alot better but now getting over 30% slip. but it does come up on plane faster

Yea mine is a built 350 bored .30 over has a comp marine cam, vortec ported heads, edelbrock dual plane, and a holley 650 with an electric fuel pump, and alpha drive with 1.50ratio. Wanna say boat is making 300-330hp if i had to guess. But the laser II 21p runs around 4900ish. Runs average of like 60 on gps. Its not a very light boat but stingray seems to have a fast hull design

with the mirage prop it got the best of 53 GPS @ 4800 rpm. but the cruising speed was around 35 and 4000 rpm. sold that prop. in the mean time over the winter I rebuilt the 460, dynoed in at 438 horse at 5400 rpm. I currently run a 23 ballistic. best of 64 MPH @ 5200 rpm. still need to dial the engine in, only running 30 degrees total timing and its pulling almost 4 inches of vacuum at WOT, Im pulling the 600 holley off and bought an 800 off of an HP500 merc. hoping for 68-70 @ 5500 rpm!!!!
