Best idea yet. I should have bought the Daytona 20 years ago.

1.5:1 gears could have been and probably should have been used in your set up from the beginning. Your throttle response would have been better.
There is about a 400 +/- rpm increase going to the 1.5:1 gears. Boats do vary due to torque levels.
Since 22 Bravo 1 props are really 21.3 pitch, Labbing them with extra rake angle is a legitimate option for better cruise speed.

I think it would be silly to tear your drives apart without at least trying a series of 19" Rev4's. They run like a bigger prop, and should get you to about 5200 or 5300 with a light load. Ken the Prop God will let you try a set of props and trade them back for shipping cost if they are the wrong size.
Even at 19" the Rev4's will launch you on plane and cruise better than those pieces of crap you are spinning right now

Lol! Well said! I get caught up in the small wheel/high ratio vs low ratio/big wheel debate too easy.

Well its a valid concern, but we need to try some different wheels first. On my Whaler (totally different I know) the 19" Rev4 ran the same speed as the 21" 3 blades I ran and the same rpm. Only reason I sold it was because on that light hull there was no need for the four blade since the three blade Viper worked so well, and it was lighter and easier on the lower unit when shifting.
Standard Mirage props just can't carry a heavy ass hull like this

At Bblades we offer a test program that allows you to test propellers without buying them.
So, you pay a $55 test fee and there are no strings attached. You get to have the props for 15 days and return them with knowledge of how they perform on your boat.
If you love them you can purchase them. Here is a link to our program.
