As soon as you say speed I resort back to Lab Finished Mirage Plus propellers. But when you say 6 people and easy planing I suggest a Revolution 4 in stock form or a Bravo 1 Labbed to your boat for the best all around performance.

We have all these propellers in stock for testing if you would like to do so.

I tried a REV4 on my 24 Outlaw and did not like it at all. Mirage Plus was the fastest. The Bravo 1 was the best overall and for cruise speeds. It got rid of the easy porpoise that comes with the Mirage plus.

you can have a prop shop re-pitch a stainless prop 1 degree either way right? and does your 25 mirage have the drop in style hub cuz we might have a deal....

Fixxxer 22 change your gear ratio to 1.51 and you will pick up more speed along with cruising.

i know... this sucks. i bought it from the person who custom ordered that boat. they must have thought the 1.36 was the appropriate ratio. but for now i just want to prop it for the drive it has. i have a lead on a bravo performance drive (i know i can change the gearset in my current drive.) and i dont know how to setup the gearset. isnt it pricy also? make a long story short i was looking to change to a 1.50 but just havent done it due to the inability to find the special tools to do the job correctly.
