Propeller pitch for 1984 23 Open Fish?

[eggsuckindog]

The Mirage has tons of cup and rake hence a 900 RPM difference - 2" pitch should be 400RPM normally. You also probably need to raise the engine if you go with a Mirage, it has much longer blades and can run much higher, sit them side by side and you'll see what I mean. 6000 RPM is the normal top of the RPM range on MOST 4 strokes and if so you should try and get close with a light load.

Example - my 200 ran 5700 with a 19" Merc prop - went a 19" Stlleto, similar to a Mirage, and run 5300/5400. Would actually like to trade down to a 17 frankly to get back to near the 5800 max. So if anybody has one call me.
