    Mirage Setup Help

    I have a 93 Mirage River Racer, running a mildly ported 225 Promax with a 1.87 gearcase and 30 drag prop. The motor is about 1-1/2" above pad and I am running 93.1 at around 6450-6500 rpms. What can I do to get more speed out of it. Two of the previous owners told me it ran over 100 with a 200 Mercury on it.

    Same prop? They may have taken the "magic" prop with them.....Props make a big difference sometimes.

    No not the same prop. I am not sure what they ran on it for a prop. I know when I had my 175 powerhead on it I was running a 30 ET and went faster than I am now with my 225 Promax and a 30 Drag. My 30 et is damaged and the 30 drag is all I have to run. I think I'll probably jack the motor up a little more and see what that gets me.
