I am running top speed 83 with a 466 BB Chevy.... Cannot tell you the prop info as have just purchased the 22 footer but will be happy to post when the specifics are obtained.
Any specifics (Good or bad) about a '98 would be great, Thanks

I just picked up a 96 mild 454 mag w/ 1410 Edelbrock Carb, Torquer 2 Mani and thru hull, boat came with a Labbed Mirage 23P. Kinda dinged up, so dropped off to have repaired, Prop guy said it was good for my boat. But I continue to read the 25P is best all around, just slower to plane. So, tomorrow I'm meeting a Guy in Miami for a 25 Mirage for $175. It's worth a shot & otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the boat. I have plans for 1.7 Roller rockers, IMCO -2" Lower, change to Aluminum Manifolds and maybe a head change in the winter. I'm curious to see how she runs.

I never picked up the 25P as I was advised by 2 seasoned Prop people it was too much for my boat, contrary to what I've read here... Anyway,, got my 23p repaired, back to new, was suggested I try a 22' 4Blade, for both hole shot and top speed. Any ideas how this would work out? I will probably never be in boatalone, and with minimum 1 person and cooler, don't want to have slow takeoff and just top speed, entertain the thought of pulling a tube as well. Thanks for any input. -Cheers
