Just like fishing keep tweaking it..

I understand Pat and appreciate the help. I'm still going to try a bigger prop when I can find one and play with height a little more. If that's all I can get than that's that but at least I have...

Way to bum a guy out..

Just want it to run the best it can and maybe I'm there. But, it doesn't cost to try and I'm a little stubborn. I'm still at 4 1/ 2 inches below pad even though I'm at 8 dots on my slidemaster. I'm...

Ran the boat today on the 8th dot on my 12 inch slidemaster jackplate. In the morning at 6000 rpm I could only get 62.2 did have some good wind and waves thought maybe I had it to high since I ran...

No I stayed with the 25t1 prop the motor is a f225tlr 4 stroke light blue.

Went from 5th dot to sixth dot on jackplate to get it to 64.5 sorry spell check is giving me fits

Ok as of now on with dot I ran 64.5 gps first thing in the morning. Outstanding as my military friend would say, however, I leveled my boat and motor. Measured my bottom of gull 16.5 from concrete...

Moving to six dots on slidemaster and going to try that. Still seems to need more lift. I wish I could find a 26 tempest and see how that would run.

Update today... 63mph gps on 5th dot on my slidemaster. Didn't get a chance to adjust due to prefishing for a tourney. However this is huge to me gaining 3mph and hoping for more. Still at 6000 rpms...

To big of rollers to open it up today. Update soon

Going to the lake Tuesday to play with jackplate height and going to try a 27 tempest prop. If I can hit 64 now in the heat I will be happy. Update u soon and thanks for trying to help.

Correct on the 12 inch jackplate. I just learned that the hearing is 2 on the lower unit so it's going to kill my speed. But still should get more than 60 moh gps. Prop to pad I bumped up to 31/2...

Sorry for ur loss of speed. I'm trying to figure the same think out on my zx225 not running above 60 mph

It's a heavy boat but I can't believe that's all it has. Not sure why it's Soo slow. Prop looks good. If I did measurement right it looked like I was 5 1/2 inches below pad.

Just bought my first 2008 skeeter zx225 with a yamaha225 four stroke 25ti prop 6000 rpm 60 mph 12 slidemaster jackplate. I'm thinking my motor is too low causing drag please advise. I live in Idaho...
