Default Re: Micigan wheel ss props?

Thank you all very much.

Looks like I may have got some incorrect info.
So,Decisions,Decisions,should I go with the Mirage + that seemed to perform good,or maybe the Quicksilver thunderbolt.
The thunderbolt was recommended by a couple prop shops, I spoke too.
One thing I'm finding out,is it seems like prop guys are like Ford and Chevy guys.

I'm currently running a 3 blade Merc alum.14-1/2"X 17 pitch,and the boat,(23 Tsunami 260hp I/O),hops up on plane very fast,but there was a noticeable improvement,when I tried the larger diameter Mirage 15-1/2" X 17.

I tried the Mirage,on a recommendation from "Prop Gods."
He actually recommended the Quicksilver Thunderbolt,but said,that if It was too expensive for my budget, to try and find a used Mirage,as they are very common,and i might be able to find a used one to save a few bucks.
He was one of two people, that mentioned the Quicksilver Thunderbolt.

There are a few Mirage props on Ebay,maybe I'll try that. route,

And,BTW my apologies for beating this question to death.As most of you know,I've posted this similar prop question a few times before.
