    Prop info please

    Is the mercury mirage ss prop and good compared to the tempest. I have an nx882 with an xr6 150.
    I just got the boat and the water is hard here. So getting it ready for spring. I am on a tight budget and I need a prop. The tempest even used id over 350. I am finding some nice mirage plus ss props for under 200 . Would the difference in performance be enough to warrant waiting and getting the tempest?
    Thanks everyone.

    The Mirage Plus is a great prop- it has TONS of lift. That prop is primarily targeted to big/heavy boats with high-horsepower engines that require plenty of lift.

    Tempest plus would be an awesome choice for your type of boat, IMHO.

    I once owned a Nitro NX882 with a Tempest prop that I was very happy with.
