Hey guys,
Boat is a 93 checkmate convincor 251 with merc 502 and bravo 1 drive. Looking at two props, one is a mirage 23p 3 blade and the other is a offshore 23p 4 blade. Boat originally had a bravo 1 24p 4 blade that was a little too much prop for the boat given my altitude (5400ft). Had a hard time getting higher than 4400 Rpm. I was wondering what you guys would recommend and what the differences would be between the two props. Right now I have a merc high five 21p five blade on the boat and that is clearly not meeting my needs considering I don't pull skiers...
Thanks,
Seth

The offshore was originally the large hub Trophy. It is now the VenSura. All the same prop! Re-invented 3 times cause it never ran great on anything specific. I do like it a little on cnt console fishing boats with twin OB's.
The Mirage will be the fastest but could use a little extra cupping to make it perform just right on a Checkmate.
Call me if I can explain more.
