Re: Labbed mirage 25 +
Different boats respond differently. If you hook up well with the current propeller and don't ventilate getting on plane, Labbing will most often improve planing times. If you have ventilation issues getting on plane, a different recipe during the Lab process is in order.

Re: Labbed mirage 25 +
This is my latest test data:
Mirage 25 + did 5.200 RPM best trim 83-84 miles on pitot speedometer. NOT GPS Turn 3400 RPM to plane
Bravo 1 24 picth 5.400 RPM 81-82 miles speedometer NOT GPS Turn 3.300 RPM to plane but feels much faster out of the hole. Handling much better keep boat planing at only 2.400 RPM.
1/2 tank 1 person. Seawater temperature 40 * Airtemperatur 65*
In really like the Bravo 1. Question is lapped 26 Pitch, Max 5.300 RPM? can I expect the same rpm to get on plane and how much top end gain.?

Re: Labbed mirage 25 +
A labbed 26p Bravo should give you the same top speed as the 25p Mirage plus. The labbed 26p Bravo may be a little slower out of the hole than a stock 24p.

Re: Labbed mirage 25 +
After a lot of communication and professional advice from Peter Nonneman, Nordic Powerboats Europe, I ended up buying a 26" Bravo 1 Lab finished by Mercury Racing. I did some test run today and the result is amazing. End up exactly 5.300 RPM and did 84-85 Miles on speedometer (NOT GPS) That's 3 mph gain. The more important thing is that the boat handle like silk. Overall performance is improved and steering feels better. Best $$ spend on my boat.
I can highly recommend the professional service from Nordic Powerboats Europe and thanks to all other in this thread that advice me.[email protected]
