Default prop selection

Hi, I have a 1979 Cigarette 20 with TRS drive and 454 engine. Engine produces approx 425hp. I presently have a Mirage 23 and am having trouble getting up on plane. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This could be due to the propeller having been adjusted or the height of the drive.
I would try some other propellers. We can send you props through our test program before you buy one and it will teach us a bunch about your set up.
Call us if this sounds like a good idea.

The last 6 or 7, 20 ft Cigarettes we have done worked well with our cut down Quad IV. Good hole shot, great mid range and handling, and superior top end. Check out the Quad IV on our website.

Thanks,

Thom
