ok, i have been to mercs site and read the specs on the laser II and the mirage. i currently have a laser and am considering switching to a mirage to get more lift and a little more top end. merc says the laser gets more lift but i was told by a friend to try a mirage anybody have any real life experience with these two props?

Tons, as well as many folks on this site.

Let us know your set up and performance numbers and we'll all try to help.

In a nut shell, the M+ is better suited for larger boats with more HP than the boats the Laser 2 would run on.

Call us if you wish to dicuss specific information.

What size were you considering, I have a few Mirage and Mirage plus, that I may consider trading one for a Laser.

i have a 21p laser looking for a 21p mirage, would like to try before trade if we could work it out

its a 1987 concord magnum II www.concordboats.com
currently a 260hp 5.7L but i am in the process of building a new engine that should come in around 350-400hp. turning the 21p laser II at 4300 rpm aprox 53 mph at 3000ft above sea level

I have a 21 Mirage Plus, and a standard 21 mirage, I would like to keep the standard, since it turns a few more RPM's on my boat(outboard). I wouldnt have a problem with you trying, if you paid the shipping(both ways if you decide to return).

In my experience, if a laser has enough blade area to hold / doesn't slip too much, you'll lose speed going to a mirage plus... if you're cavitating the laser then a mirage will hook up better, but still probably not be faster on the top end. imho
