I want to make sure everyone knows what a great job Darin at Houston Props can do.

I sent him my 19 Mirage stainless prop late last year with all three blades bent over and when I got it back it was BETTER than new.
I got to test run the new prop on my boat this weekend and it made a huge difference in the performance of the boat. Base on what I told Darin on how the prop performed on the boat he made the adjustments to make it perform better. The biggest problem I had with the prop was cavitations when trimming and when turning, now the prop does not want to leave the water, it acts like it is a four blade, which I was thinking of switching to but did not want to lose the speed. Now I have the best of both worlds and don’t have to compromise. My topd end did not increase much, but we all want that extra 2 or 3 miles an hours, and i got it!



Thanks Darin!!

Darin, I tested the prop Friday and it looks like it will need a slight refinement.

The air temp was right at 90. The boat is a monster out of the hole. Unreal and zero blow out. I hit 69@ 5000~5050RPM (GPS) but the boat really has a porpoise issue now. It seems that any positive trim I give it at WOT will make it porpoise wildly. It was a real handful at speed.

Will taking out some cup fix that? I will give you a shout Monday to discuss.

Also, midrange was fantastic and cruise speed great (50~55 mph).

Thanks...

prop was shipped on Wednesday this week,sorry ,it was a four bld to start with, we reduced cupping and the rpm will come up ,also we thickend the trailing edge for more stern lift.this will do it.

Darin,
It was nice talking to you yesterday. I will ship my prop for the 25ft Outlaw today. If you would drop me a note when you get it so I know it is safe. I look forward to seeing what you can do with it. I read allot of great things about your work. (2002 Baja Outlaw w/496 HO Mag -- 23p Labbed Mirage Plus)

Thanks.
