Re: Fastes Mercruiser prop

Is it bigger than a bread box?

How about reading the sticky's at the start of the prop section.

Yes it is. It is a regal 2100 lsr
Hi there, I'm sorry, but to be able to give better advice, we will still need some additional information from you if possible. Below is a list found in the sticky's of important things we'll need to know,

ESSENTIAL DATA REQUIRED
When posting a question about propellers, you cannot get a reasonable answer unless you provide the following information in your post: Items 1-4 are essential for meaningful response to most questions, While I will add item #5 is essential to help determine the best all around Mercruiser propeller for your stern drive model.;):)

1) Performance issue you are trying to correct.
2) Current prop manufacturer, model, aluminum or stainless as a minimum.
3) Current prop diameter and pitch (required).
4) Wide open throttle RPM and speed with an average load (very helpful)
5) Engine/drive make, model, year, and HP
6) Boat make model, year, length and weight

Re: Fastes Mercruiser prop

Your Maximum rpm (at WOT) allowed is between 4400-4800 rpm so your about good there.

Here's some helpful tools,

Prop Slip Calculator | Propellers | Mercury Racing

Prop Selector | Mercury Marine

Since you have the bravo drive, you already have one of the best propeller for over all speed without sending in your propeller into Mercruiser to have it lab finished in house by mercuryracing.

Mirage? Plus | Propellers | Mercury Racing

One other prop that may work very well on your boat coupled to a bravo drive would be the Mercruiser revolution 4 propeller. The revolution 4 is a fast 4 blade prop that's comparable to but slightly better then the 3 blade mirage plus on most boats of your design with a bravo drive.

See the video in the link below,
Revolution 4 | Propellers | Mercury Marine

And yes you could send in a stock revolution-4 to fit your boats specifications or you could find a new revolution-4 that has already been lab finished by mercuryracing. Googling would be the easiest way to find one though.

Hope this helps give you some additional ideas, Good luck.:)
