Smile MIRAGE PLUS vs. FURY

Hello,

I am looking for a better prop for my boat which loves a lot of bow lift at my sterndrive / 20" boat / 25" prop
I heard that MIRAGE PLUS will have as well as the new FURY (a part of the M. outboard program) a lot of rake and so a lot of bow lift.

So if some one could give me some advices which prop I should take, I would be perfect

thanks

Harald

What do you have for power? What is your outdrive ratio? I have a buddy with a Stingray 20' and he is running a 23 pitch? I have a used Mirage Plus 23 pitch that needs a little work for $175 plus shipping.

depending on the answers to the above questions, your specific set-up and your overall goals, a laser 2, especially sent off for thinning and tweaking, might be your fastest prop if it has enough blade area to keep from cavitating or blowing out. on my smaller 18 foot boat I can turn a higher pitch laser than a mirage and even though it gives a little higher slip numbers the boat performs better everywhere with a laser than with a mirage. I have friends that have had similar experiences...

Give me more information on the hull and the performance numbers and I'll help you the best that we can.

Labbed M+ props in this situation tend to perform the best. Fury propellers are what they are where as M+ props can be manipulated in many different ways.

For what it's worth, I have a Mirage + for my Stinger 222 and found it to be a good prop, plenty of bow lift and great low speed / low rpm driveability. There's lots of blade there to play with too to match it to your combo. I'll probably be sending mine off to Brett for some work soon though!
