Does anyone have a pair of Mirage plus 23's
Looking for a set of Mirage Plus 23's left hand and right hand in good shape for my 29. Anyone happen to have a set they want to get rid of?

Thanks for the responses guys. I have a set of Mirage 23's on right now but I think I'm missing a few mph (running 63 on gps) so I thought I should try the Mirage pluses to get a bit more top end. Running 4700 rpm up top right now with the mirages.

I have a nice set of mirage plus 23's - would trade for a set of Standard mirage 23 (not the plus).
they are in very good used condition shape. Plus they are identical to each other. Had prop shop check them out fully after I bought em.

Not trying to step on BillR...but you do know the Mirage plus props will pull your rpm's down even more right ? You said your turning 4700 rpm now with the regular Mirage props. I'll bet you'll see 4400-4500 with the +'s.

Understood, I'm fairly new to performance boat ownership (used to own cruisers) and I'm just trying to find 3 or 4 mph with this boat. Would cleavers be a better choice for speed than the Mirage plus props? Should I be looking for less pitch? It just seems that everyone is seeing 66 to 68 mph with the same boats and mine will only do 62 or 63 mph with three 230 lb guys on board and half a tank of fuel. My engines only have 280hrs on them and seem to be running very well. My speedo is showing 64 or so but the GPS doesn't lie. My understanding is the Plus blades tend to lift the bow a bit more than the regular Mirage blades which tends to get a bit more air under the boat which in turn gives you the extra few mph.

I borrowed a set of STD mirage 23's and I got about 300 more rpm......
The plus 's are a tad too much for my rig.
