Mirage Vs Mirage Plus.
 
I currently have a mirage 25 that runs good on my boat but, I was wondering how a 25 plus would handle and run? Does it have more bow lift? is it a faster prop? Thanks Dwight

I've run both on my boat.

The "Mirage" tends to slip a bit more because it does not have a cup. I When I put the mirage pluses on my boat I picked up a few MPH in cruise speed and about 1-2 mph on the top. I also had a much better holeshot. The boat was much more responsive to trim with the Mirage Plus and did not porpose as much.

Thanks Panther, I am looking for some real world experiences with this. Dwight

Keep in mind what RPM's you are running with the 25 Mirage. A Mirage plus will be about 200 rpms lower than a non plus. So you might need a 23 Mirage plus.

I am running 4950 with the 25 mirage. Something interesting is that when I tried the 27 mirage I had a experienced porpoising and a little slower speed. Seems the 25 was able to push me through the porpoising.

Nova 23 ZZ502/502
25 Mirage Plus I get 68 mph @ 4750 rpm.
25 Mirage {not a Plus} I get 70.3 @ 5100 rmp.
25 mirage Plus labbed best yet is 70.9 @ 5150 rpm.
Speeds are gps.

Before I got my 25P labbed I was told that, a 25 non plus would be close to a labbed 25Plus. Cost me $270.00 + shipping for an extra .6 mph. Yeah, it was worth it.

Hope this helps.
