Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
Darin can you give a prop recommendation for a 22' scarab with a BBC 468 running low 70's right now. Would like to trim a bit more and gain additional speed if possible, running a 26" x 14.625 dia 3 blade right now and pulling it to 5100, rev limiter not an issue, motor can handle 5400-5500 with the cam.

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
The 26 is a borrowed prop from a friend and I'll have to ask him the details. How far can you twist a 23 P Mirage prop, it was just not enough. As well the boat does not react well to more than a little trim, it begins losing grip and then it starts to chine walk slighlty, would a 4 blade help with these symptoms?

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
jspeedemon you may want to consider a four blade if you do not like the handling of a 3 blade prop a Bravo-one would be the next best thing labbed of course,we have them ready to ship 
or we can convert your Mirage to the acclerator and we can change the pitch 2"or in (mean) pitch 1.5 with some extra cupping will work fine.give me a call if you need to ?

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
Darin, I have a BB 22' Scarab and haven't had much luck with either a 23 mirage or 25 mirage+. Last year I put a new 22 bravo on it and I like the results, but I need more pitch. 60mph@5000 How do you think a Acclerator would for me? Does it make any differance if you start with plain mirage or a + ? Thanks, Doug

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
Doug a Mirage plus would be better to work with there is a better blade area to work with,you find a big difference between the ACCLERATOR AND A STOCK PROP.

Re: Mirage conversion to ACCLERATOR
Darin, Would you pm me with a price to convert my 25 Mirage+ to a Acclerator? What kind of turn-around time can I expect at this time? Thanks, Doug
