In my opinion, I think there may be something going on with the motor if it is in fact only able to spin a 23p mirage to 4500. My last boat was a baja 235 force and I built a mild 486 that was maybe close to 400 hp and it spun my 23 mirage + to 5000-5100. I ended up going to a 25 mirage+ to lower the rpms a little because I had a cast bottom end and didnt want to spin it that high. My point is I think that a 502 should be able to turn the 23 to at least 5000 with ease. My Baja was a little smaller, but don't think that is an issue here.

Im betting on bad tac as 54mph on gps at 4000 rpm doesn't seem right, and I agree with "Nailit" Im actually at about 4800 rpm

My next post/suggestion was to install a quad rotor setup as it should fix your tachometer issues. :lolhit: :lolhit:

WELL I GIVE UP!!!

I called for Brent at bblades Mon am & pm, Tue prior to lunch was told he is with a customer or on phone will call back each time, had the form all filled out, wanted to ask Brent a few questions, as we have never spoke on the phone yet........still NO return call. I know everyone on here recommended him highly BUT that type of customer service isnt right

So Wed I will send the prop to Scott at Mercury Racing, where I had quite a few done in the past

Everyone said he was the best and did alot with Baja......oh well
