Re: Need a prop for a 25 outlaw
 
I have a labbed 25 Mirage for sale if your interested. I picked up about 4 MPH with it over the stock 23 in my 24 outlaw. However, there is a price to pay in that I had to come out of the hole easy or the prop would blow out when I had a load of people (5) on the boat. With two on board it was OK, but still not as good as a four blade in coming out of the hole or midrange.

I second that. It took all of your modifications to make mine accomplish that consistently.

I found that I personally didn't like the 3 blade on my 25. Too much blow out when cornering, etc. My preference was a 24 Bravo 1 or 23 Revolution 4. The Bravo gave more bow lift and the Revolution more stern. The 3 blade Mirage plus was the fastest but midrange really suffered. Bravo 1 was the best at cruise (by about 5-6 mph) but top speed suffered. The Revolution averaged both props and was my preference. I never tried a labbed prop.

Good Luck,
Bill

I have a 25p Mirage plus labbed to the accelerator design by Houston prop.
I used it for a year and it does blow out less than stock.
It has a couple of digs in it but still works great.
$150 if someone wants it.
It's too small for my boat with my new engine... :D

Glad to see someone else posts speeds over 65 for a 25ft Outlaw. Somehwere in the archives is a post claiming the hull wont go over 63.

I have a 99 with a 454MPI 385 with a 23 Mirage Plus. I want to GPS it, but I have picture from a Poker Run last fall with 2 adults, 4 kids (11-14) and a full tank of gas with the the Speedo showing 70 at 4900 as the helicopter was shooting us in a Poker Run. I have seen the Speedo at 73 at 5000, but like I said I want to GPS it.

Will the 4 blade make that big of a difference in the turns. I usually tuck the drive a little more on a real tight turn, but the blowout think is an issue. I don't make that many tight turns at high speed anyway.

I am curious to see how it works out for you, post the results!

Net gain,

I really dont notice any blowout with the 4 blade, of course I am not making high speed turns anyway since the family is normally in the boat with me on the weekends. I can tell you that the overall ride with the 4 blade was noticably better over the 3 blade and mid range/cruising speed was great.

Re: Need a prop for a 25 outlaw
 
a 23p mirage is probably your best choice for speed. i had a friend with a 25 outlaw and a 500hp. he used a 23, and i think he was around 5200rpms. he tried a 25 and it was a dog.
