Which prop will fit my needs better for skiing while still performing well for general purposes.? They are the same price ($300) for used props supposedly in good condition.
21 Rev 4
21 Mirage plus
22 Bravo

Thanks!

Below was my previous post:
I was told to try a 4 blade 21 pitch prop for pulling the kids skiing behind a 2003 18 classic 350/300MPI Alpha. The Mirage Plus labbed 23p isn't the greatest for getting a skier up fast. Does anyone want to part with a good 4 blade or possibly a 3 blade 21p for a reasonable price?

What is your max rpm with the 23 p you have now?

the 21 rev 4 will put you in the same ballpark rpm's.

if you really want a good holeshot propeller for skiing the best would be a HIGH 5 propeller 22 p

The 23 p turns right at 5k maximum, but it is labbed so it was my impression they alter the pitch and size slightly. I'm new to messing with props. Somebody just indicated they have a 21p Turbo txp as well if that would work better. Any advice is trulty appreciated.

Every boat reacts differant to propellers,if all your looking for is a good holeshot i would look into a 4 blade prop like the rev 4..a 4 blad will lift the a.s.s. of the boat up and drive the nose down faster..uoi loose 100-200 rpm's going from a 3 blade to a 4 blade in the same pitch..if your looking to replace the same prop but dont want to scrub off a few mph then but want to still be able to ski then i souls look into a rev 4 23pitch or a high 5 in a 23 pitch..

go on mercs website and read so you know what prop does what for your needs..
