I have a new (now ~50 hrs ) Marine Power 454 330 hp in a ‘95 22c swinging a new Mirage Plus 23 thru a Bravo One drive and I have questions. Please make comments and suggestions on the following: Idle in gear is 650 to 750 RPM at 4 mph G.P.S. WOT is ~4,000 RPM at 51 mph with slight surging at WOT. At 30 mph to 40 mph when I punch the throttle to wide open the boat feels like it is going to leap right out of the water but it tops out at only 4,000 rpm. From what I feel I have seen on this incredible list, the 23 prop seems like it should be the correct prop, maybe with a little touch-up from Throttle-up or Bblades. Is that correct? Does the surging at WOT throttle indicate a lean fuel mixture? Does the Mirage Plus 23 seem to be the best prop for this setup? I feel like I should be turning 4,300 to 4,600 RPM and in the low 60s mph. I run the boat at natural trim and no tabs. What are your thoughts? And another question - what is the max out of gear idle RPM that it is safe to shift into gear? The boat runs stable and true - like it is on railroad tracks at all speeds. The only thing I feel I have to be alert to is if the throttle is chopped while at elevated speed. In that situation the boat rolls to stbd but I feel that is to be expected given the boat beam and the sudden change in engine torque. My wife and I love this boat but you can see from the above that I feel there is something not quite right with the engine/prop size/speed performance. We are looking forward to your input. Thanks, deejay
