Been running the 24" Hydromotive. Been doing more cruising than hauling a$$, which this prop is better for.

I also have a 25" Mirage that I've been wanting to try. ;) I think once it cools down a bit I'm gonna find the 25" is the right prop for speed. :cool-smiley-027:

remember to keep the rpms in the upper 5s.
i bet a labbed 25mir+ would be tits.

The 5000 is a missprint. It was always around 4500. I was wrong.

Does the bow seem to carry better now? You're now at about a 12% slip which is pretty good especially with a bravo. I would try a Mirage too, just to see if there's a difference. Maybe try to find a regular ol' 25 Mirage and see what it does.

It runs at a much better attitude with less trim.

If you can try the Bravo126 and a Mirage+25 and a Plain Mirage25 on the same day, You will probably find the plain M to be faster like Ziemer said if it will get on plane.

No high 5, not enough blade area, T-Mone runs a P5-X though.
