According to Merc Racing the Mirage Plus is a maximum bow lifter.
Judging from how my boat rides, the Mirage+ is a good stern liter. My Michigan Rapture would give me tons of positive trim. I would almost lose the horizon on hole shot not so w/ the Mirage+. I can feel the stern rising w/ the Mirage. It`s a nice feeling. I also think I learned why Denny`s 4 blade Apollo beat my Mirage+ WOT when he did his comparo.
4 blades lift more boat out of the water. Less wetted surface= higher top end.

Steve, do you have room for a 6-71 under the cover?
