Default F 272 sr1 63mph wot 4500rpm 25p mirage props

yesterday I got 4500 rpm wot at 63 mph bravos 1.5 w/ 2 on board and 3/4 tank of fuel using my 25 mirage props,would labbing these props give me more speed? Is it worth it? I also have a spare set of Bravo 1 26p props that I have not tried .what should I expect with these last 2? Any opinion would be greatly appreciate it.

The 26's are too big. I'd try a set of 23's first. Then decide which ones to lab after discussing the results with Brett from blades. Iirc I had the boat up to 67? With 2 on board and 1/3-1/2 tank @5000 rpm

Jamie,

I've already tried mirage 23's and I was going over 5000 rpm more like 5200 and I thought it was too high already not seeing more than 63 either, I probably need to try 23's M plus

Anyways i think I can still take advantage of around 400 rpm more out of these big blocks with the right set up, so let's say I lab the 25p mirages,how many more rpm should I get?

I believe 2-300 is average. Seems like that will put you right there! But honestly call and talk to Brett. He won't steer you wrong.

Let us know any questions you might have.
Labbing the 3 blade props is the best route for speed on your hull. We may want to test some Plus series propellers too.
