Yes.
In stock form it's slower. I'm going to have Todd at Hydromotive lab it for me and see if I can get it closer to the Mirage. The 24 doesn't get over the hump, and turn up like it should. I can only get 5000-5100 out of it. But, I also tried a 22" of the same prop and turned that one almost 6000 at 75 and change.
Unless Rob (Stormrider) had the prop cut into a M+, the Mirage I have is just a regular Mirage. I would like to try/find a 25" Mirage or Mirage + because I think that would prove to be the fastest and still keep the RPM's conservative (My 23 Mirage turns 5800+ @ 78 or so mph)

Have you tried running a 24p Bravo 1?
I have run lots of props on my Superboat with the M or M+ being the fastest and a labbed B1 best overall. The Only Hydro I have tried is a P5-X. The P5-X is good but requires too much trim.
