I have a 23 regular mirage(not Plus) that I loaned to Lucky Strike a while back, I am not sure what he is doing with them, or if he even got to try them yet, if he is not using them, your welcome to try that also.

If Andrew doesnt chime in, I'll give him a call. Saturday weather looks better than Sunday, but I may run over to naples to look at a trailer Sat., and Andrew works Saturdays, so lets stick with Sunday.

I had a mirage 23 and a mirage 25 for my 22 Scarab with 7.4L EFI. I could hit the rev limiter with the 23 pretty easily at 4600 RPM. The 25 was much slower to plane and topped out around 4550 RPM with a higher top speed by about 2-3 MPH.

That was my experience yesterday -- I was bouncing off the rev limiter at around 4600-4800 rpm with the 23 Mirage Plus, and hitting an indicated speed of 63-64mph. The 23 got the boat out of the hole faster than the 25, though I didn't feel much difference in the midrange. The 25 Mirage Plus is slower out of the hole, but tops out at 4200rpm, and gives me an indicated top end of 67-68 -- probably not very accurate, but there's a 3-4 mph difference there between the 2 props. I'd still like to try a 4-blade 23 or 24 (?), since my 22 4-blade is clearly not right for the motor.

I've heard 4 blades don't work well at all on these hulls. Let us know if you find otherwise.
