Re: Prop for a 24
Ironman -
I had been running the 26P Bravo, until my low oil pressure issue. 76.8 MPH GPS was the best so far. My new engine will hopefully get me closer to 90 MPH. Then I'll need the 28P or a 30P.

Re: Prop for a 24
Hey Fellows,
I had a chance to try T-Mone's labbed 27p Mirage plus this past Friday...
My boat was faster on top by 1.5-2mph but the boat did not handle nearly as well as with my Bravo 1. Cruise speed at 3500rpm was down about 5mph also.
IMO, the added speed is not worth the handling deficiencies with the Mirage +...
Has anyone ever tried a Hydro QIV-X 4 blade?

Re: Prop for a 24
638 HP at 5600 RPM I believe. I have to verify the RPM.
My new engine plans have changed several times. First I was going with a 700+ HP naturally aspirated EFI Engine, now I bought an M-3 with large intercooler and might build a 540 fuel injected with the M-3, should be 800+ HP at 6 PSI of boost. There will be no engine if I don't figure out my drive issue first. An XR wll not last real long behind that power and I'm not taking the chance. Boating season is too short here in IL.

For the cost of shipping, you are welcome to try any of them until you figure it out.
Sincerely,
That is so cool of you to offer that. Right now I'm so slammed moving out of one of the largest privet estates in Newport RI that I worked and lived at for 20 years as a caretaker that had a great heated garage. And now I'm trying to find places for all my stuff. My motor was built 2 years ago and I just want to break it in and maybe go for a short ride before winter. Then it will half to be out side. Maybe the Bravo 24p would be a good place to start?
Thanks Todd
