I will now go drown my sorrows.

So today was prop demo day. The boat came with a Mirage 23p prop, and I'm pretty sure it is original. At least it's exactly what is called out for in the manual. Consulted with some of you guys in this thread and with Brad at Bblades and decided to demo a Revolution 4 23p. Ran them both back-to-back today. The Rev4 was awesome! Good hole shot, I felt like I could accelerate from a dead stop while doing a U turn faster than I could accelerate in a straight line with the Mirage. Picked up about 4mph at equivalent RPMs from the Mirage to the Rev4, and while I lost 400 RPM on the top end (5150 with the Mirage, and 4750 with the Rev4), I still hit the same 60mph top speed with both of them. The boat cruises effortlessly now at 2800 RPM and about 32-33 mph, where I used to need to be around 3200. Still going back and forth about keeping the 23p demo prop and swapping for a 21p, but either way I'm going to make the jump to the Revolution 4 I think.

I'm sure some more experienced will chime in. But to me it sounds like you found your prop.
But that maybe the alcohol speaking.

2nd to me it looks like you have alot of cream and brown go with the teak color. It will look Sharp. Both will look nice though.
