Default Mirage Plus 23 v Bravo 1 22

I'm looking to replace my 23 Mirage with a brand new prop. I am getting about 25% slip right now and I really want to see my boat get up into the high 50's low 60's where it should be. I was reading that the Bravo 1 4 blades are good for high drive hieght boats. I also have a notched transom. It seems like my current prop just doesnt "bite" the way its supposed to. Thoughts? I want to make sure I'm making the right choice before spending $500+ on a prop. BTW the boat is a 26 foot Seebold with a 454 and Bravo 1. (looks alot like an old Scarab III)

What WOT RPM are you seeing with the 23P Mirage? That will help determine if you're in the proper rpm range and IF a 4-blade would help.

4700-4800. Right now the prop just doesnt seem to "bite" above 3800.

I ran a 22p bravo on my 265. Ran about 58 on GPS.
