I have a 18' Mirage River Racer, 6 inch jackplate, 300 ProMax, 1.62 gear ratio. Motor is set one inch below the pad. I need advice on two props and recommended motor height. One for 660' drag and the other top end speed. Thanks, Karl

No one has any suggestions. No one has a Mirage, STV, or anything even remotely like my Mirage that they are running a 300 on with 1:62 ratio that could give me some start of starting point on a prop to run drag or top end. I am running a 3 blade Hopkins 28 pitch chopper. Taking off from a dead stop is not very quick and it runs 93 to 95 mph top end. Was thinking maybe a Yamaha drag prop in a 22 pitch ?????

I ran a Hopkins 28 pitch chopper and turned 5900 rpms at 660'. I am thinking on trying a 24 Yamaha drag to see if it will help holeshot and turn around 6200 rpms at 660'. Any input is welcome.
