I agree with Yupitsme in that the slip numbers are outrageous. That 25p tempest should run much much better on that boat. I wouldn't go buying 4 blade props just to try. I would have that prop...

Will do bud. Im not so sure I actually have a mechanical problem but when I dig back into it, ill head to that forum for help. Ive been wondering about the weight of the boat lately, thinking...

CRIMSON, yeah, none of it makes sense to me either. I didnt know much when I got this boat, but dammit I've learned a lot since. Only enough to be dangerous tho. I have a pdf of the manual on my...

My builder told me 6750 is rev limiter, and to prop the boat to 6500. The tag seems to be missing or painted over, but I remember somewhere in 6200-6400 or something close to there.

Sorry bud, I got nothing really new to report as far as numbers. Still hitting a wall at 65mph with the new ecu. But the ecu got the boat running again. Then on test day of the new ecu, I cracked...

Well mine was falling atleast 1k rpms short. My revy was set at 6750 on the last ecu. Last night I installed a virgen used mercury ecu. Gonna go water test today if the weather plays nice.

Well here's to hoping a different ecu will wake this motor up.

So a little update.... this past weekend had to get towed off the water. Got home to find the fuel pump in the vst wasnt coming on. Jumped the (-) to a good ground and the pump would turn on. I...

I also pulled the plugs yesterday and took a look at them. Im not too familiar with 2 strokes and was wondering if these look normal, for 40:1 oil mix, and about 28hrs since they were last removed...

I'm going to call them today and I'll ask them about that. But the injector were cleaned and flowed at the rebuild and only got 40hrs on them since.

Thanks. Hopefully I'll get some answers soon enough, but for now I got nothing other than thinking it's in the motor. I checked the full throttle static timing today and it was spot on at 24° and...

Will do bud.

My batteries are in the stock location, and I've been everywhere with prop height from 4" below up to 2" below where i was on the verge of loosing water pressure. With 12" of setback, been through 5...

I thought I accepted the request, but I can't seem to find you anymore. Might need to resend it, don't know what happened.

Hydro steering.

yes, Randy Sawyer did my motor and he's an awesome guy to do business with. Best I can tell, and what he also confirmed is I got a 1.87 tourquemaster

Kool. Yes, hit me up next time your coming to douglas or cherokee. We fish Douglas sorta often and have been on cherokee a few times as well. I try to get atleast 3-4 hrs a week of seat time at...

Thanks. Im really hoping its seat time. I just spent a large amount of money getting this promax redone. Over the last 5 hrs or so, I have really tried driving just past the edge of my comfort...

I live in knoxville, tn and am having a hell of a time trying to get my 209 up over 65mph. Is there a member on here that is in or close to Knoxville that would be willing to help a brother out? Or...

Thanks. I've tried finding someone in the knoxville area that knows these boats but I think its almost like a unicorn in my area, dominated by norris crafts and bullets. Everyone knows about them, ...

I guess the big thing thats raising a big red flag is hearing about many other people with the same hull and motor combo running much better than mine, with just about the same equipment. Like set...

My gps speed has been coming from my phone since the boat didn't come with working graphs, so I can't really watch my speed as I'm running. Just look at the max speed recorded for each run once I...

I'm running what I think is the factory Gambler jackplate. 10" with 2" bobs spacers. Ive got plenty enough trim to air the boat out. I know they make wedges also to adjust the angle of the motor, ...

thanks. Im working on the seat time as much as I can. I get out 3-4 times a week, some running, some fishing.

As for prop to pad, I've been from 4" - 2" below. Same speed, very little rpm...

Not yet. Thats next on the list but work has hit a lull so that's showing down things. But I've gotten a pretty good feel for what the tach is showing to know how things are going on the water til...
