Re: Performance Gains (Mat_HT)
I got a 2005 20' stratos. 225 hpdi. 8" detwiler plate originally. best speed was around 71 with all my tackle and gear. but to be honest, I hadnt done much in the way of set up. just bought it and went fishing. I hear people say mid 70s loaded to fish, but I never saw it.
got the phase 3 kit, porting, 300 ecu, lightweight flywheel, lower unit mods, etc, everything i could get. also went to 10" plate. It ran 91 or 92 I think. I gained 20 mph.
Also got the new rev limiter with the higher ecu on its way, so I think that will help me with propping the boat.
Thats the only problem I have had is propping the boat. It either jumps out of the hole and is on the limiter or it comes out of the hole slow, but runs good on top end. Think a 27-29 prop with the higher ecu will fix that though. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
future plans include getting C and O to do some work on the hull to smooth it out and see if I can gain more. and Im going to try going to 12" setback and run some smaller props since I will have the higher rev limiter. Hopefully it will gain a mph or two.
Re: Performance Gains (jim4596)
I have run a ton of props.
Bravos, TXPs, Trophy's, Tempests, Hydromotive.
Fastest so far is a 31 hydromotive with full tackle
Fastest light is a 31 TXP.
Best all around prop is a 30 Bravo.

Re: Performance Gains (Mat_HT)
2008 Skeeter 20 I Class with Series 2 250 HPDI. Stock set up with stock 25 T1, 5800 RPM @ 71.4 MPH.
Phase 3 kit and light weight flywheel. Now turning a 27T1 Mark turned on the limiter @ 82.4 so far. We need more prop. Fuel mileage is much better too.
Still playing with set ups and props.

Re: Performance Gains (Jason Hale)
my fuel usage went up, but not significantly. not sure if thats due to hydrotec or me just keeping my foot in it all the time. when im out there im either running WOT or im idling. when u run mid range, it doesnt use much fuel, but i cant seem to do that. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
no problems with dependability. idles a little rougher, something due to having higher compression and solid motor mounts I assume.
Re: Performance Gains (Mat_HT)
I have a 2009 zx225 with a 2008 225 HPDI with a 26 pitch fury. Running 76 on gps. What type of performance could I expect by putting the light weight flywheel, high performance lower unit and the phase 2 or 3 on it?
Re: Performance Gains (Mat_HT)
Can't give any before 'cause I bought mine new with the Phase 3. '09 Stratos 201 Evolution w/300 HPDI phase 3. Spacer and big bore kit with modded reed box. All fishing gear aboard, 1/2 tank fuel turning a 3 blade 28 to the 6150 limiter at 86.2. Got a 29 inch prop being built, more to come. zoom-zoom
Motor acts like a stock motor, no idle or starting issues, no bad habits at all. Really amazing torque at any speed.

Sorry not the best one I have but should give you an idea, will post better one later
This is one of the fastest hulls we have out here and that speed was posted at about 4500ft above sea level I have done a 86.5 at sea level with her fully loaded and ready to fish
Re: Performance Gains (Viper250mp)

82.4 @ 6150 RPM's - Holeshot is RIGHT NOW
29 B&B'd T1 set 1.125" under pad

Update - Added lightweight flywheel
Same 29 T1 at 1.125" under pad

Re: Performance Gains (Mat_HT)
What will a Phase II do for a 2006 HPDI 250 on a X21TS Xpress? What is the cost of the kit and what all come with it? How much hp gain with kit and what grade of gas (86)? Also who install them around Clanton, Al or would it be best to take it to Hyper Tech in MO?
One other thing how much more hp will a light weight Fly wheel add?
A lot of question but thanking about doing it to my 250. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
