Thanks for the responses. I think I am going to try a stock Mirage Plus 25P, and if it runs well, I will send it out to be ladded.

Re: Mirage Plus or Hydromotive
 
Well, here's a little bit of updated info. I guess the VERY long winter in Upstate NY froze my brain, because I thought I was turning 5100 RPMs. So here's my updated info from the first outting of the season....

flat calm conditions in fresh water
4900 RPMs
67 mph on gaffrig speedo (no GPS)
23P Mirage Plus with minor ding in 2 blades
I'm running a 2000 Powerquest 260SX with stock 502 MPI

My thought was to go with a 25P labbed prop, but don't know if I am getting enough RPMs? My ultimate goal is top end performance. Any suggestions other than trying them?

dtsquest,

You are running your motor right about were you should, for top end. So you sould run a 25P Mirage Plus Lab Finished to increase top end.
