Buddy is running this with a hydro plate and a Mirage and turns 5800-5900+ but has never seen better than 84.I guessed he could tourny prop it and run 90,what you guys suggest he run prop wise and is it reasonalbe to maintain a decent hole shot and hit 90ish?Setback is about 10"
leave the prop and get the lower unit mod done by hydrotec. i think it gained 5-6 mph on a stock 250 on a stroker.
A 3 blade TXP will give you a lot more speed that the Mirage. I would think in a 30 or 31. The lower unit mod is a must for a stroker to really run some good numbers.
Use the Mirage as a back up prop only !!! Not the prop for the Stroker.
Hydro Tec gearcase mods on a stock 250 hpdi gained almost 6mph. Ought to consider the Fatshaft mod and be done
I liked the mirages

Hey Paulie, I really should have been more clear with my post. The question was for a "good load/topend prop".
IMO and based on my limited experience with the Mirage, there are better props which meet this requirement on the Stroker.....................
The Mirage was fine on my application, just not the first choice for top end or a load.

your right...i think with some work from croxton a mirage may surprise....esp with a yamaha gearcase
I sold a very nice 29 Mirage with pvs holes drilled and cupping added to the tips to Largemouth Lou.. Never heard if he ran it..

Haven't yet, it needs more vent for the 1.62 gears.. I will send it out some day
Thx guys,I searched the archives looking for a similar setup to give him some info but didn't find anything as far as specific props/performance.What's involved with the gearcase mods? He is running a performance Yammy case w/low water & factory cone.I don't know what gears and doubt he does either.
the gear case mod relocates the pickups from side to bottom some shaping and torque tab......the prop shaft should be upgraded to the fat shaft other wise he will be bying a prop shaft and a new prop....the small shaft tends to break esp in surfacing aplications like a stroker....money well spent
Paul: Not that I've run a HPDI 250 and that case is much different that a Sportsmaster but I really like the Performer 4 blade B/C for a fishing prop. Very good hole shot and carries weight at speed very well for me
Eli your right performers are very good props esp on merc lowers infact I fan a 34 3 blade et as my fishing prop yesterday 2 man fishing loaded hole shot was pretty good!.....What I have found is thru hubs work better on a yamaha style lowers
Gotcha Paul like the Hydromotive Quad 4 on your old 3.1 with the Titus moded Hammer lower unit ?
PS a 3 blade 34" ET as a fishing prop
The fastest prop that I ran with the Titus yamaha case was a TXP. The slip of the performers were up around 20% Best run was 92ish and on the limiter hard. I was at Guntersville Al. with 95 deg.
The worked 32 TXP 3 blade would run 96 with same load and weather conditions.
