If you are running a Mirage plus, thats about the most bow lifting prop you're gonna find. A Bravo 1 4 blade carries the bow about as much as any 4 blade can, but still not as much as a mirage plus.

If you're running a 23 Mirage plus, go to a 22 bravo 1 and have it cupped for more bow lift. You will most likely incresed cruise speeds and a loss on the top end.

Four blade props do offer more stern or over all lift. If we go to the 24 Bravo 1 and Lab it to carry the bow better, It will bring your rpm's right back in line with the 23 Mirage Plus.

We have test props to aid in your decision. We can base line box stock Bravo 1's and make a decision from there. Otherwise, I'm sure the Labbed 24 will get you where you need to be with overall performance gains.

Call us if you have any other questions.

Exactly what I did for my Baja 232 (454 Mag MPI)
New B1-22p cupped to a 23p (not labbed) and it's perfect.
You'll love the 4-blade bite too!

PS: Almost identical top end because of less slip!
