I agree with Steve about the drive but you have the Bravo I and so it goes...
I'd be curious to learn specifically what prop you're running and your performance numbers. How quickly does she get on plane and low low will she hold a plane.
If your PT prop is the MQS series, I think you might just need more pitch. If its not, that model might be the ticket, or maybe the four blade version (MQS4). Get your rpm numbers to WOT with a load and go from there. Try to borrow a Black Max/Diamond (allegedly the same shape as the MQS)in a 17 and 19 pitch and see where you are (they are easy to turn so you might even get up to 15x21). Any shop should have a dozen of those on the wall and be willing to let you give it a go.
Obviously its not the same boat but that geometry totally changed my overall Seafari's performance.
I have often heard it said that the Mirage + is designed to be wound up so I don't think is going to be effective at your target rpms or projected speeds but if Sandy's willing, heck give it a try.
Good Luck  |
My Model number is M250WBU-15P I am guessing the WBU indicates it is a work Boat, Barge, pontoon boat prop, which is what the powertech folks told me when I emailed them the info.
