Mirage Ski Racer with 300 ProMax
I've got a 2003 Mirage Ski Racer with a 1999 300 ProMax with 1.62 Sportmaster. I'm currently rigged with a 10" hydraulic plate. The boat previously had a 3.0l OMC, but this ProMax is considerably stronger so looking for anyone willing to share setup advice. IDK actual boat weight, but it's definitely on the heavier side.
While I can certainly go about this as trial and error until I find the magic setup, I figured I'd tap into the S&F knowledge base to shorten my learning curve.
Motor is bone stock, so I'm working with a 6300rpm (or so) rev sheriff.
Props I have that work for fatshaft include: 30p Drag 4, 28p 4bl Signature semi-cleaver, unknown 30p 4bl cleaver.
Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.Last edited by deCler; 02-03-2022 at 01:48 PM.

Don't worry Mike, I still have plenty of V-bottoms and might eventually want to trade this Mirage off for an XB02/03. Before I do that though, I want to see how she rolls. It was a total snore at 85mph with the stock OMC.

I had the same boat with pretty much the same motor. I had a Ski Racer with a 10" Hydro Dynamics Rapid Jack with a 1999 250 EFI and 1.62 SportMaster. Set on kill, I had the motor 2-1/8" above the pad and it went 111 with a worked 36 Bravo and 115 with a 37 Herring. The boat felt way safer to drive when the motor was set 1.5" above the pad but obviously not as fast.
