Thanks Ridge. I would have to say it was nothing more than an educated guess based on the speed of my v with its 225. You can never have too much power. Those 3L Mercs do sound mean don't they. Lots of luck with your new setup.

Prop Gods recommended a Tempest in a 23p. My prop slip was 14% not 11% as reported. They suggested the Rev-4 was not faster than the Mirage in their experience. Tempest has the same blade design as the Rev-4 just 3-blades with lots of bite. The Tempest turns a few more rpm than the Mirage in the same pitch. Prop is on the way for testing..
Keep you posted.

You may need to raise the engine even more with the TEMPEST from what I've heard about it. It likes to run with a little air in it to help it spin up.

Thanks Ferm, I appreciate the input. With the Mirage, I had to lower the motor one hole from the top as the prop was starting to loose bite in the turns. Water pressure was down a bit too. Right now it is one hole from being as high as it will go and still have adequate water pressure. I will see what it will do. I may just need a little tweeking on the Thunderbolt, as suggested by Ken.

Prop arrived today from Ken @ Prop Gods. Excellent service... I have had to wait longer for a gallon of 2-stroke oil from my local shops. Test time.
