Prop, Livewell and General Update

As far as I know it's a plain Mirage. Not Plus but will verify tomorrow.

But sounds like the 17P would make the situtation worse? Am I understaing it correctly?

yes, I wouldn't go with the 17. The reason I asked about the Mirage is teh earlier Mirage props had more blade surface than the Mirage plus, the Mirage plus also had ventalation holes in the hub. I figured a plus would give you a few more rpms than the regular Mirage. I'm still surprised you are only spinning a 15 5300 rpm, how low is the motor on the transom? What hole is the motor mounted on?

Spare's got TONS more experience than me and I wouldn't argue w/him...all I know is mine's a 17 and it got all the bottom end, mid-range and WOT performance there is to get outta my engine...your engine has a lower redline than mine and that may have something to do w/the difference...all I'm sayin' is, if you have the opportunity to TRY one, do it...

I'm on a 24" set back bracket which is raised 1.5" per 12" of set back.

The motor is on the highest holes, in escence making it as low as possible without opening more holes on the bracket.
