prop for xlt185
 

I bought this boat at the end of last summer it has a 21p cleaver on it right now and runs around 55 at 4800 with a stock 260. I would like to get a prop that I can air the boat out some more with I was thinking either a mirage 21 or the hydromotive I cant remember what model it was but they have one for bow lift also just wanted to hear some peoples thoughts on this that have expereince with either prop.

What motor do you have?

Something like a Laser II might also work. I believe the gas tank is in the bow of your boat, correct? Your current pitch seems right in terms of RPM on the stock 260HP 350. You might want to post this question in the prop section as well.

its a stock 260 merc

I ran a 21 mirage on mine stock, and if fully loaded with gas and people, a 19 mirage. 1986 with 260. People and fuel make a huge difference in that boat.

Alot of those boats came with those cleavers, props of that era they used.

stock I used a 21 mirage worked great
bigger motor ran a 23 mirage also perfect.
Had a 13.75" x 25 laser 2 for a few years, handling was lilttle sketchy but best top end.. with being a heavier boat the laser blows out around 87.

Best of both worlds I run a bravo one, tweaked 15.25 x 25 4 blade.
