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.

remember to keep the rpms in the upper 5s.
i bet a labbed 25mir+ would be tits.
come on! i wanna see that package run 80+. always thought it could.

Sounds like the hook in the bottom had a lot to do with it. The hook will push the bow down and potentially lift the rear which can cause the prop to slip more.
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.

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.
