I've got a 95 24 Outlaw with around 540 hp and 700 torque. I run a labbed 26" Bravo 1 to 5000 rpm and will do 75 on GPS. I had a Hydromotive but never got any speed out of it. You need a Bravo 1. I would start with a 26" and see where you're revs are. You might then need to go to a 28"

Good Luck

Just be freekin' carefull. You have to be coming up on the design limit of that hull. If you find chine walking to be a problem, the Q4 Hydromotive will help stabilize the hull. That prop will suck getting on plane. It won't be as bad as a 3 blade Mirage though. The bravo will plane very well and will offer a good top end. I'd try all 3 props.

Guys,
I switched back to my 25 mirage. The hydromotive just wasn't geared for this boat. I am now running 72mph on gps at 5400-5500 rpms. I was wondering if someone had a 27 mirage or a 26 or 28 bravo. I was also wondering what it would cost to rework my prop to fit my needs. My torque peak on the engine was around 4900-5000. Thanks again.

24outlaw, do you want to sell the Hydro 27 ? If so PM me I may be able to use it. I just put my motor in my 25 checkmate and they love Hydro's. We dyno'd it @ 646hp at 5600rpm. Thanks to JimV. We will water test in the AM

I have a 24 outlaw with about 450 hp. I was wondering what the accelerator prop is? I currently have a labbed 24 Bravo 1. I have not been able to go for a top end speed yet because I injured my knee. Last year with a 3 blade mirage 23 with added pitch and cup, I was able to hit 68 on gps. I have since rebuilt the motor and expect some more hp. Just wondering what the accelerator is?

Thanks
Allen
