Default Re: Propeller options

the Mirage plus is a great prop, jsut takes some HP to turn it, the regular Mirage takes even more. That prop wass originally design for big block bravo set up's. Most out boards didn't have enough torque to spin them up, so they came out with the mirage plus, it has a little less surface area, and has ventilation holes in the hub for fine tuneing. If you boat will spin a Mirage, great! You'll have a very effecient set up, but due to the hp of your engine and boat size, I would probably start our with a same pitch regular old Mercruiser SS( Vengence) or Aluminum prop in the same pitch. Pitch change is not consistant when you change styles of props. Stay away from any props that have a lot of rake( swept back blades) they are for lighter faster boats requiring bow lift. Four blades, and even five blades generally don't have as much rake, and create a lot of stern lift, this helps to keep the boat on plane at a lower speed
