Default what to expect? Mistress 600 hp....BBlades???

right now I have 547 CI 600 hp in a TRS Cigarette Mistress, running labbed 25 Mirage plust 73.4@5500 shows me 16% slip.....

I have labbed 24 Bravo1 4 blades I wanna try as soon as I get the right inserts, will the boat still see 70+ you think?

my cruise sucks with 25plus....I want to raise cruise speed and still see 70 no matter what.....

Also torn on running 4 blades on 600's wth TRS's.....but who knows...either they live or not haha

Maybe, probably.

Who Labbed them and what recipe was used?

We can send you the correct inserts.

RAn the 24 Bravo1, boat for sure don't carry bow as well, cruised approx. 50mph @4000 WOT was 70.2 @5250, took forever to get that top end, my 25 Mirage plus I get 73.4 @5500, cant remember cruise right now... the mirage specs from a flat day the Bravo test I had some chop, I figure 4 mph loss up top is a ton when boats only going low 70's

I'd be interested to see the 24's to determine if some adjustments could improve your performance.

They are borrowed not mine, I read te mistress hulls don't like the bravo 4 blade and TRS, the boat for sure would not carry the bow, would a worked set if 27 mirage plus be better?

As a all around propeller a worked Bravo 1 would fulfill most of your desires. We can induce bow lift in the Lab procedure The TRS issue doesn't make sense unless some one is concerned with longevity?
27M+ props are stiff. You would need to test them first in stock configuration.

I have not mainly because I don't have any and I won't buy until I know if they work, another buddy told me he liked those also... After talking to Brett for 1/2 hour yesterday we kjnda think the mirage worked will be best with some slip for how I run the boat... I spend most of my time between 4500-5500 and tend to like rough water lol

You know anyone with revolutions?
