    Arrow antennas are well built, but I wouldn't do it.

    Which Mirage amplifier? The 300 watt B-5030 G I'm familiar with does 300 watts with 50 watts drive.

    25 watts drive would be less output, and probably OK.

    Do you have a watt meter for 2 meters and a dummy load or antenna that can take 300 watts?

    Measure what you actually are putting out.

    Exceeding the power rating on an antenna by 100% is a sure-fire way to destroy it. I'd go with "don't do it" as well.
