Prop Help

[09shelby]

I'm currently running a Mirage Plus 27 pitch. What would the equivalent Bravo 1 prop be ? I'm trying to get up on plane quicker. The boats a 2008 ZT240 with 496HO. Also i don't know if the mirage was labbed it was on the boat when i bought it.
Thanks

have you tried dropping the tabs? when i switched from my Rev 4 23p to the bravo 1 26p my plane time suffered, but if i drop my tabs it pops right up very quickly.

Don't have tabs. Not looking for more speed. Is there a way to tell if prop was labbed ?

My labbed prop has the company's stamp on the hub.

Visually the leading edge of the blades are knife edged compared to an identical stock prop and the polished finish is better.

std bravo 26 should do you well...

I'm going to look for a used 26 and start there.

Is your exhaust thru hull or hub? I have captain's call and if is switch to thru hub and use large hole pvs plugs on Mirage Plus I get great hull shot. With thru hull or solid plugs it is slow.

 

[09shelby]

I have captains call. Never tried opening up the plugs.

4800 rpm at 72 mph. I had a full tank 2 people. the water was really flat. I think I could get 74 if conditions where right.

Is that gps numbers? If so that's great.

Sorry I think I missed something. Is this with a used 26 you were looking to buy or something else

 

[09shelby]

That was gps with mirage plus 27 pitch. I ordered the Bravo today.

I may be a little late, but if youre spinning the mirage at 4800, I think you'll spin the Bravo 26 even slower. I think a Bravo 24P would be a better try.
