just picked up a 25p mirage plus -- will try it out thursday morning.
the prop shop guy said something about venting it -- if i got good top end -- but a bad hole shot -- sound right?

23 pitch mirage plus thinned out add cupping in the tips and rebalance to perffection/ this willwork great /good holeshot midrange accleration will be strong and will run good on top end./ i think a 25 labbed or not will be sluggish /always remember to test with normal load factors /people/fuel/full coolers ect. good luck

yes that prop worked very well -- i got decent hole shot and myt rpms dropped down to about 4500 WOT.
i am rebuilding the motor into alot more HP -- so i decided to wait till then to try any more props.

I have a 1981 24ft Pantera with a 454 with Merlin head 130cc(?) Team G and 1050 carb with MSD stuff hooked on to a Bravo one drive.
I'm still playing with my prop and carb.
The numbers I got with a 23p was close to what you
have but i was bumping my rev limiter at 5200.
I just tried a 26p but I wasnt to happy with the results I got 55 at 4200 rpm than my carb was running lean or maybe timing was off. I'm having my brother look at it hes the mechanic.
What kind of numbers to you get with your 25p?
Joe said I should be getting 70mph out my setup.
I've been tesingt at a lake and the hull seems to stick to glassy water unlike when i take it out in good chop it seems to run better.
I'll keep you informed of my results.
