I'm looking for some advice on which prop to go with on my 24' Checkmate Enforcer. It has the 350 Mag engine with Alpha 1 outdrive (1.5:1 gear ratio I believe).

I purchased the boat towards the end of last year and noticed right away it had to steep of a pitch prop. WOT and trimmed out it would peak around 3900 RPMs plus or minus a few. It had a generic 23p stainless prop on it (not sure of the brand) . After doing some research I picked up a 21p Mirage Plus hoping to raise the RPM's some which it did, but not as much as I was hoping for but the speed definitely picked up. I had the boat out last weekend currently and as it sits with the 21p Mirage+ it is running 4100(ish) RPM's according the the factory tach @ 49mph (GPS).

I would really like to get the RPM's closer to the 4500-4800 range where they should be. Any particular prop I should look at? I have been doing a lot of research on the different model props and the more I read the more I start double guessing which model I should get. I've looked at the standard mirage, laser II and of coarse the Mirage+.

I was thinking of going with a 19p mirage (non plus model) hoping that it would get my RPM's up where they need to be. Any ideas?

Thanks!

JimNut,

It looks like the current prop is hooked up well. You just need to get more rpm to save the engine. We have a test propeller option for you.
Call us if you desire and we can get some test propellers for you.

see if you can find a 19p mirage and mirage + to test before purchasing one.
