I tried the same prop about 4 years ago. That was with before I raised the x dim and with less HP. Back then it would not lift the bow enough to get any speed, it ran real flat. Well now with the raised x the boat runs flater and faster and I may not need the bow lift of the Mirage. Never know until you try it.

OK, here are the results of the Hydro 23p. I could only pull it to 5300 RPM @70MPH, I could pull more RPM but it would loose speed. Prop slip was good at only 9%. Overall it felt good, it planed of better than the Mirage, but at least 2MPH slower given the heat. If I did a lot of skiing and tubing and made a lot of turns this prop would work. Probably a better prop for stepped hulls given that a lot of Fountains run these props. I may try a Bravo prop next just have to find the right timing to borrow one.

bblades also has a test program you might want to inquire about. The test program worked pretty good for me.
