IS A QUICKSIVER 3000 THE SAME AS A MIRAGE.MY LOCAL PROP GUY SAYS YES.IT COMES IN A MERC. BOX AND VISUALY LOOKS THE SAME.THE COST IS ABOUT 20%less.

I'm not real sure, but I believe that the mirage + to be a superior prop. Your dealer may be refering to the fact that they are both round ear props. If that's your only criteria, then yes he's correct. Guess it depends on what your goals are.

BTW-I do have a quicksilver 23" labbed prop available...
