How deep is the prop centerline from the bottom of the boat?

Well while it was on the trailer yesterday i hit the trim button all the way up until it stopped. I then rotated the trim limit switch 4 little lines to allow the trim switch to raise the drive a bit more. By doing that at max rpm I can now pull my tabs all the way up and maintain bow lift with the trim. I got 64 MPH on gps @ 5500rpm with a 23p Mirage. I still have a relatively high slip number (19%) but I picked up 10mph. I still have more throttle left but I didnt want to rev it any higher. I am thinking I could swing a 25 or possibly a 27p Mirage or Mirage Plus. What do you guys think?

Sounds like you are close. You could try a Mirage 25p but you likely won't get more and you will reduce the acceleration. Do you stop trimming when you get to 65 MPH? My thought is to with your 23P and get it behave more like a 24P vs the 25 Mirage. Have you talked about options with Brett at BBlades?

I have thought of calling Brett. With the 23p the boat is an animal at any speed, tons of power everywhere above 2000rpm. I would almost bet the farm I could pull a 26-27p prop.

As you go up in pitch acceleration will fall off. Planing time will also increase. A labbed 23 or a 25 is where you'll most likely end up. On boats with limit switches I usually trim up with the trailer button. The limit switch almost always stops before you hit the sweet spot.

I am spinning the mirage 23p with ease. I will just have to keep trying them out.
