Good Morning OSO Family,
I am typically active over in the Formula section but I recently purchased a 1990 Regal Velocity 23 for a fixer upper project with some sentimental value.
Now, understanding that this “era” of the velocity isn’t the 90+ MPH 22’ relics of Steve Stepp or the luxurious Thoroughbred models of today, I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am removing a clapped out aftermarket 468 BBC from the boat and replacing with a factory stock 454/330 because I have one on a pallet fully dressed ready to go.
Anyone have any prop information for this setup? it has a 25p on there currently which I’ll pull off and stick on the shelf but I was thinking a 23P Mirage Plus may be the ticket?
I heard that the Regal variants were a bit more difficult to carry the bow on when running on the pad, I would assume the Mirage Plus would assist with that.

I think you are on the right path with your thinking and also if my memory is correct those hulls like Hydromotive Quad4 props too. Good luck.

Always nice to have a visual reference.
