Well, I was going to send you a PM but your box is full. I won't know what to do with the props until I sea-trial the boat this spring. With a few improvements to the engines I hope to spin them just a touch faster than last year, which was 5000 rpm. I was able to find some free horsepower by eliminating an airflow restriction during the dyno runs before the engines were torn down for overhaul. With a few minor improvements I'm hoping for 675 hp@around 5400. But I'll keep you posted and we'll see about getting the props to you early this spring.

The Accelerator prop really does deliver. I have no more blowouts even in the sharpest turns and my boat accelerates off the corners like a sports car. Mid range is much improved and plane speed feels like a 21-pitch prop and not the 25-pitch that it is. I am truly amazed that right prop can make such a difference and I am basing this comparison to the brand new stock Mirage Plus 25-pitch prop that I sent to Darin for the conversion.

My boat is a 22’ Scarab with the 454-EFI Bravo

Thanks Darin

Lightbulb GREAT NEWS

WE ARE GLAD TO HEAR THIS AGAIN ,tHANKS VERY MUCH ROBY FOR THE BUSINESS.

We also did a 22 scarab with a four blade basically same design except in the Bravo-one four blade which the customer picked up4 mph and we decided to call it the

BRAVO -RATOR it's still in testing phases as well we are building some five blades that will be soon coming.That's all the info we can give at this point.

Question nose cone installation

roby,you boat already looks cool

you don't need one ,but we used to install them and it's alot of work,they must be perfect and it is very time consuming.

go to [url]www.bobsmachine.com and check out his site he is probably the guy to go to if you really want one,I can sell you one and everything you need to install it but,you need to take the drive off and make sure it's perfectly straight as well the paint needs to be done professionally.

just my .02 cents

if you want give me a call,talk to you later Darin

Question ACCLERATOR UPDATE

I, have had several people ask if we can modify there Mirage not the Mirage plus into the ACCERATOR design?

yes, we can. actually it's a little easier as the blades are a touch thinner than a plus .And the performance turns out to be the same end result of a quicker hole shot with no blow out ,faster midrange accleration and much quicker on the top end of 2.5 to 3 mph some have reported more most most are 3mph.
