Default lab finish Bravo 1 or Mirage plus for top end

I was wondering what would give me more top speed, If I lab my 23 pitch mirage plus 3 blade or get a 22 pitch bravo 1 lab finished? I appreciate all the help

At the same X-dimension likely the Mirage for top speed. Raise the X and the Bravo 1 might out preform the Mirage in many areas.

Post your performance data and we can determine your slip and this will help us determine whether you should run 3B or 4props.

What boat is this on???? that comes out to a 6% prop slip which is highly unlikely on almost all boats. I would verify your tach.
If you've got that little prop slip, then lab the Mirage Plus.

nice whats your red line, if its 4700 to 4800 see if you can borrow a 25 lab, or I have a24 hdyomotive turbo 24 for sale it ran faster than a 23 at about the same rpm also tried it against my 25m this was on a 24 superboat the guy bought the 25 it went 3mph faster than his 23, and the 24 went 2mph faster at the same rpm. looking for 200. for the prop and it can be labbed for more, its in good shape, new hub.ps with the lab 23 you will pick up more rpm ,so whats the red line
