I have a 2002 22' classic. 7.4 magnum. I turn about 4750-4800 RPMs. I have a mirage 23 pitch prop, but after reading other post would like to try a "Turbo" prop. Any suggestions on model and pitch selection? What is the maximum RPMs for this motor?

A 23" Turbo 1 would be your best bet, IMO. Your revs are fine, you should see better handling with the Turbo and a slight increase on top end.
See the Madpoodle for the prop.

Real good choice, I went from a 3 blade Merc 23 cleaver turning 65.3@5250 to a 23" 4 blade Turbo Ulitima now turning 65.5@5100. I gained about 4 mph mid range and also a tiny bit up top. I was both surprised and pleased, I want to give a 24 a try next season. I am running a 383 mouse not sure of HP maybe 350+.
