Hey Brad,
How many RPM are you turning? I really think a 4 blade prop will be the ticket to getting more out of your Hammer and the driveability will also be improved. I think the Mirage will compare in pitch to Hydromotives Quad 4. A Bravo will need to be increased 1 or 2 pitch numbers to compare to the Mirage and Hydromotive in terms of RPM. On lower HP boats three blade props are generally faster, but in your case with I'm guessing 875 HP a 4 blade is the way to go. Talk at ya later!! Be safe!

Mirage plus 29'' RH, I'm trying to get him to try a LH 30 labbed bravo, the boat has a nose cone and could use a little more bow lift and tourques pretty hard to port at wot, Do you think a lh prop will help this??

I'm guessing that the only way that the three blade is doing as well as it is, is because of the stock x-dim. I've been told by many that much would be gained from a shorty. Problem is, I'm trying to sell the boat and get into other things for a while, so I've squeezed the money pipe off some time back.
