Cant really remember exactly but with a modified 7.4 about 425 hp I would spin the 24" Hydro near 5000 rpm and it would almost run 70 on the GPS. The smaller diameter really helped the boat in the accelleration dept. The 15.5 ran about the same speed but felt sluggish. Dropped a ZZ502 in the boat and spun a 27" Mirage Plus just over 5000 rpm for a scary upper 70's ride.

I woud say the 24 Hydro Q-4 is closer to a 25" Mirage than a 25" Mirage plus. The pluses have a little more cup in the blades and from my experience this makes then seem to have a little more pitch.

I also have a 24" Hydromotive right hand that you can buy if you like. It has a diameter of 14.75" instead of the standard 15.5" that Hydro normaly uses. This 14.75" prop worked better on my last boat, 22 Scarab, than the larger 15.5" version.

Did you put it in right out of the crate? No mods?
If so,how has it been & would you recommend it
over a H-P 500?
