I am about to send my prop out to be labbed, can anyone tell me what to expect for speed and rough water hadling? I have a 2000 25 Outlaw with a 502. best speed so far on gps has been 67.5 mph. The prop I am running is a stock 23 Mirage plus.

Johnny,
I have a 2001 25 Outlaw with a 496HO, 1.5 Bravo I, 425HP.
The 502, I believe had 415hp. Pretty much the same, for all intents and purposes.
Anyway, my boat came with a stock 23P Mirage Plus.
I now run a 25P Mirage Plus, that had the diameter cut down 3/8", the cupping was increased from stock and it was balanced and labbed. The diffuser ring was also shortened. I picked up almost 3 mph top end with way better cruising characteristics!

If your close to the rev limiter now, ( 5099 rpm)
you will be up against it when you
run that prop after labbing,
You may want to go the route
Baja Daze did.

69.5 GPS IS USUALLY THE MAGIC SPEED/but we have seen more just forgot what we did to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! also if I am guessing you are turning about 4,800 with this stock prop and your limiter should be set at 5050?
