what kind of speed can you hope for in a 22 classic with 454 365hp trs drive and what would be the best prop boat has a bravo 1 22 pitch

----Cant tell you about the prop, but speed should be a bit above 60 when things are right.........Bill S

23p mirage +... 65-68 mph..now if you can find a trs ssm lower expect 70 ish.

Have you try this? I ask becuase I have a 20 Cigarette with a TRS and I have a few SSM II but I never tryed the speedys becuase they where longer and I thought it would lose a few MPH
Sorry for the tread Hi jack

The SSMII lower is 1" longer than the TRS. I'd think you would lose speed.

worked great on my friend jon's 20 cig...he had a 406 with a trs,,he also had a high x and a raised hatch..that drive put him rite where he needed to be,,that was over 10 yrs ago,,he also ran a 14'' dia. prop..

The 22s like a higher X/shorty lower so don't sell that Bravo 1 yet. I agree with the Mirage+ if running deep enough to bite. Don't know about the speed with your set-up but these hulls respond well to hp. Several are running over 100, many are running in 90s. Mine does 83-85.

Stock Bravo 1 props don't work great on these type hulls.
I'd try a 3 blade Merc Mirage, Mirage plus, or Turbo 1.
I'm running a 4 blade Merc Rev 4 with great luck. The Rev 4 is similar to the Mirage in dia and blade design only with 4 blades. May be worth a try...

Carl c ,,aka thirdchild ^^^^ ran like 85 mph with his 22 and a 4 blade brovo one 4 blade prop so i would have to say that that info is incorrect ..sorry.

A lot of us are running Bravo 1s with Imco shortys.
