Underneath the box where you type in your message there is a box that says "attach file". Click on browse, the find the file you want to attach. There are size limits, so you may have to edit your picture.

Looks really nice Dave
Like that 24. What engine is in it? What are the options for I/O? How does it run? I have a house in South Jersey (Mystic Island across Great Bay from Atlantic City) and I live in N. Jersey. Where are you from?

thanks, dave m. Hey, Super30, what power are you running on your boat and what kind of speed do you see? My '98 '24 with a 26" lab finished 3 blade and a '98 merc 300 would do low 70's. I think if I still had it I would preop down to a 25" four blade.

Hey Mike,
I have a 454 Mag (385 HP). Last year with a 25 Mirage Plus my best was 75.3 gps. I just got my prop pitched up to a 26. I've ran it twice this year and i'm thinking I should of stayed with the 25. We'll see. I'm looking for a 24 & 26 4 blade to try too.
It has k-planes, mechanical indicators, gaffrig gauges, silent choice, external steering.
I run mostly on the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. I may take her up to Jersey this year. My sister lives in Brick. I grew up in Sayreville.

DAVE M - I picked up a 4 blade Hydromotive 24 - Thinned & balanced by Hydromotive -- Haven't tried it yet .... still ice on our lake... but I'll let you know how it works.... I currently run a 25 Mirage solid hub which has been "labbed"... I like it better then the 25 Mirage Plus... 2-3 mph faster.... I turn it 5600 rpm's... no... my 454Mag is no longer stock... boat runs 89 on the stock Speedo.... 84 and change on a handheld GPS ....

Hey GRH,
I tried a Hydromotive last season. If I recall it was a 26. My RPM's were about the same as the 25 Mirage Plus, I could trim it to the moon but I got less top end. How much HP are yor running?

DAVE M - prop news doesn't make me too happy... I expected to lose a couple mph. but thought i'd get better trim response? Should be interesting... my boat is pre-step so I think I do a little better with the Mirage vs the mirage plus... as for the motor it dynoed 499.8hp @5600rpm's... turned in a nice 525lbs of torgue @4400rpms' ... boat can be a handful over 80... but you get used to it!
