Gander Mountain recently ran a 20% promotion off any single item for in-store purchase and I jumped on the opportunity to upgrade my aging Garmin 535 series. After doing some research I went with a...
After trying many props Powertech (Various) Yamaha (VMAX SHO Ventless) on my Yamaha SHO 175 I finally was able to get the best combo for hole shot and top end, thanks to Croxton's tuning. Here is my...
What Highlander said is spot on!
Also remember when you look at your overall portfolio make sure you consider any real estate holding you may have such as home and rental property or inherited...
Being in the financial field I work with brokerages, banks, and estate lawyers on a daily basis. From what I've learned I would not advise anyone seeking financial advise not to take it from anyone...
I suggest running what you have at first before you buy a prop, if you have PVS type plugs on your props pick yourself up some PVS plugs to cover the holes, that way you can experiment with closed...
Same here, some props especially heavier props give more vibration than others, the worst offenders were larger diameter 4 blades, quietest prop by far with little vibration were 3 blade Yamaha...
Finally made it to twenty hours and ready from my first service and the oil level has not moved prior to service! My dealer said not to worry about doing it at ten hours and just to follow the...
Taken into account with what Mike said about the gears being 2.0 instead of 1.86, you may have to jump up to a 23" pitch since the Pro Series is odd pitched numbers.

I agree if you run 2.0 gear instead of the 1.86 which I thought the F150 had, than you should jump up in pitch from what I ran. I have 1.86 gears on the 175 SHO, which is basically a F175-F200, kind...
I ran 2 four blades the TRO4 and a Raker 4, the first TRO4 wasn't vented and it was awful out of the hole and would barely hit 5800 and I had a 21" TRO4 that was vented and was decent out of the hole...
I feel our pain, the F150 being a four stroke with 1.86 is going to be a DOG and I mean a DOG out of the hole with your setup, I have a Ranger 185VS Intracoastal that I recently re-powered with a...
I use a spray bottle of CLR Bath and Kitchen Cleaner and spray area let sit for a little (3 minutes) and then wipe with a CLR soaked microfiber cloth, rinse, wipe dry, and finish off with bass boat...
I sent my old TRO4 back to Powertech and guess what? It was not a 24" pitch it was a 21" pitch when they measured it even though it was stamped 24" on barrel! That explains why it seemed better out...
I ran a Powertech TRO4 on similar setup in a 24" was able to run 60 light load with a Ranger 185VS, and 57 full load, your Skeeter is lighter than my 1520lb Ranger Hull so add 2 MPH for a top end of...
As far as Saltwater boats I have a F300 Yammy with 450 hours and its just hitting it stride! So as long as it all check out on the computer and its been serviced I don't think you need to worry...
Here is I did my break-in for the first 5 1/2 hours
Heated up motor for 10 minutes at idle (600RPM to 1000RPM) while in gear. Ran motor for 45 minutes between 1200-2000 RPMs with a couple quick...
Here are the numbers with my 24" TRO4 w/ factory 3/8 port holes and Exhaust Ring for SHO
6000 RPMS

Hole shot 5 or so seconds...
Update!
Finally got my new engine on and installed, did the break in as per manual for the first two hours, and was about to get another couple hours in with runs up to WOT.
These are my...
I like your speed class category, I wonder if anyone can keep up with Grant or even cares?

I have a Ranger Intracoastal 185VS, not sure if the hull is exactly the same, but my favorite prop for my old engine using a150 VMAX Yamaha w/2.0 gears was a Powertech TRO4, my engine/boat combo with...
Now if that ball would have only looked like a Laptop laying around, he'd be all over it!

Bub Tush makes an awesome punching rod with moderate action and its relatively inexpensive. I have the Dobyn's 795 Champion extreme and like the Bub Tush iRod better, go figure,
Blew my cylinder and going to re-power. I ran various props with my rig Ranger 185VS Intracoastal and 150 VMAX Carbed and Powertech TRO4s 24" worked by Croxton gave me my best numbers!

I am also joining the break-in club also! My 2003 150 Yamaha VMax's carb took a dump and ruined #3 cylinder, so instead of rebuilding power head since I had crankshaft damaging/heating, I decided...
Yes we have a nylon cage on our ceramic hybrid ABEC 7 bearings (ceramic ABEC 7 balls, SS races, nylon cages), which tends to be quieter than SS cages. For the record we clean all our bearings in an...
