He did my Mirage's last year... no matter how much you lab them, it's still not a 4-blade

I agree, but did you specify that you needed better grip so he would add cupping to the blades?

I predict you won't like the 4-blade, but I hope I'm wrong.

A friend of mine has a '97 Baja 272 with 454 Mag / Whipple and he runs a Bravo 1. He said it was a vast improvement over the three blade. I think he was previously using a regular Mirage, not the Mirage +.

I had a Shooter (272) with a 454 Blower and ran a labbed Bravo 1. That is why I wanted to try them on the 302 with 502s.

I have test props for just this! Please feel free to call me if you need any assistance with dial inwork.

I had a 23" Mirage plus on my 24 Outlaw. Spun it to 5500rpms. It staye dhooked up pretty well, but was slow to plane. Also the boat would porpoise easily if not trimmed just right for the speed.
Tried a Bravo 1 24" and it was much faster planing and had a 4 mph better cruise speed at 3700. Spun it to 5200 rpms at wot. Also the porpoising was gone. Lost about 3 mph on the top end.
Tried a 23" Rev4 and lost about 500 rpms and 6 mph. It had too much stern lift and could not carry the bow.
