I would say about 70 to 74. Thats what a friend of mine ran with his. He had a 97 with bravos. Not sure about props.

Mine with a Whipple 502 runs in the mid 70's and still tweeking on props??

My 2001 w/ twin 350 mag mpis runs, on GPS, 68.7 max w/ 23p mirage plus props. wiht a pair of labbeb 25p mirage plus it has run 69.3 max. I think that a set of 25s knocked down to 24 might yield a little more speed but I dont believe that these boats will run over 71 w/ stock power.
Regards, Mark

A friends 98 has stock Mirage plus 23's and it runs 68-69 on the GPS. Speedo was off on the low side. It was a nice surprise.

Would four blades (Bravo 1) work better on this boat?

We have a '94 with twin 350 mags, normally aspirated, non EFI, Alpha drives, and Mirage 23 props. The best I've seen on it is 66 GPS on water like glass and no wind. Still, not too bad considering we are 50 HP per engine (or 100HP total) less than the later model 29's.

As the old timers will tell you ... there is NO substitute for horsepower!
