Re: Which prop is better?
"tell us about your hull and set up"??......<br /> This was an expensive quest for going fast that started with a bad lower unit. I figured it would be similar to things I knew "more" about. Automotive....the first 50hp you add is cheap and you can feel it. Several hundred hp later it gets REAL EXPENSIVE and the effects are difficult to feel).<br /> What I had: 98 Skeeter ZX176, Yamaha Vmax150, Yamaha M-25p prop, 2.0:1 ratio lower unit, 16" motor set back from the back of the pad, prop shaft 5" below the pad...59mph@5000rpm WOT.<br /> What I wanted: 6200+rpm with the same prop. (it's just that simple)<br /> What I did: Hyrosports Stage II kit for the motor. (heads, exhaust, reeds, jets, intake plate, reed plate)....Installed 1.86 gear ratio lower unit.....raised motor 3", set the timing at 22 just for safety.<br /> RESULTS: 63mph@5600rpm and it won't stay there due to massive chine walk. Have GOOD water pressure all over.<br /><br /> I'm going to raise the motor another half inch tomorrow and see if it helps. Any other suggestions (other than tabs)?<br /> Is it possible to trim "past/out of" chine walk?
