What kind of speed are you seeing in this?

I have a labbed Mirage Plus you can have for 300 plus the ride. When I had a 7.4 MPI in my Hammer it came with the 23 M+ and would hit the rev limiter. The labbed 25 proved to be just the ticket. When I changed to a 468 with about 500 HP the 25 was still the right prop, but pulled more RPM. A new motor with 610 HP required me to go to a 27. I have since added a XR with a -2 Sportmaster and am going to give a labbed 28 B1 a shot this weekend.

I ran a 23 Mirage Plus to about 5400rpms on a hopped up 454mag that was about about 420hp in my 24 Outlaw and could spin a 24 Bravo 4blade to about 5100rpms.

defently thinking a 27 is to much for the guy that had one for sale. it still sounds like the 25 is the best bet to try. tell me this, there is a guy with a baja 272 in town thats for sale that has a hp500 in it thats stock, they are saying it runs low 70s with a 27 3 blade? the 272 is pretty close to my hull and i am not far off in hp so how is he able to go 27? doesnt sound right to me.... i am working on a mirage plus 25 on ebay right now. is the normal mirage worth looking into? they seem to be allot cheaper and if i could figure out that the 25 would work i could have it as a spare and buy the mirage plus when i find a deal on one.....

If you want to borrow a Mirage Plus 23 I have one, and I also have a labbed 25 Mirage Plus you could try. I can't sell them because they are both pairs. Unless you would like to buy a pair

Send me an email [email protected]
I am usually on the river by 11:00 Sat Sun.
