Thanks! I just got one for my boat for 250 bucks.
Update,
I bought a 24 pitch tempest and hit 62 mph at 5600 RPMS, but the boat does lift way sooner. I am thinking that my motor is still too high so I am going to try to lower it today and try it...
if this is who I think it is, smart comments on every post is what got you booted.
I am an admin as well. what seems to be the problem
I watched this video and wasn't impressed with the speed he stated. It is obvious to me that he isn't set up correctly. I found a 24 pitch tempest online for 400 in like new condition. I am waiting...
We checked the hotfoot yesterday. It wasn't getting 100% full travel with the throttle cable but it wasn't much. I adjusted the hotfoot maybe an 1/8 of an inch. Will report back when i run the boat...
I found a 24p tempest in new condition on marketplace for 400 dollars. I am waiting for the guy to answer me. For 400 bucks if it is still too much propellor, I am going to send it off to get it...
yeah. that would be sweet. But i'm five hours away. I do have a good friend near Magnolia in a little town called Stagecoach that i visit often, but i'm sure by the time I go back up there i will...
The water pressure has been good where it is now. I don't think i will lose any going all the way up and trying a tempest. I called my local prop shop to see if they had one. People drop off props...
I can go up about another 1/2" on the jack plate maybe. I would have to get a proper p2p measurement.
Yeah, like i said I tried a 25 tempest and it was too much. The next step is trying a 24. I have the chance to buy a used 23p but I don't know if it will be enough prop.
For sure! this boat should run high 60's at least. I have noticed little to no lift I am thinking it may be as easy as biting the bullet and buying a new prop.
I thought so too, but why would I slow down five MPH open vents vs. plugged. It makes no sense to me.
While i never measured, I think i have the p2p dialed in pretty close. I did try to plug all of the vents in the prop the hole shot was still great but I slowed down from around 60-61 to 57 mph. This...
Hey guys. I just purchased my first glass boat (had a 2016 RT188 for 8 years prior) I have to say I really love this Triton. It rides really well. The previous owner must have not set this boat up...
The first time I took my brand new RT out I was idling down a canal and one jumped towards me. I caught him with a right hook before he could get in or around my boat. I DO NOT recommend punching one...
makes sense. I fish alone 90% of the time. :laugh:
Hey all,
Model number : 1117F131D

I searched for this before posting and my results came up empty on this particular motor.
I have had a shift position...
I have a 2016 RT188 and i'm not sure what you guys are calling slide. My boat handles like a dream but you have to trim down in turns. I had a true 1856 flat bottom boat with a surface drive on it...
knock on wood but I am almost 8 years in on original wind shields.
you need to figure out the max amp draw for your ultrex. I just ordered two Ionic 100ah batteries for my fortrex. I was worried that 50AH batteries would leave me dead by two PM going off of the max...
I guess it's one of those things that you don't know what you are missing if you never had it. I fish shallow and my fortrex suits me just fine. I also have power poles though.
For launching, I let my winch strap out and let it float. However deep it ends up being. For loading when I back the entire trailer in the water to completely cover the bunks (just to wet them), then...
I just had mine repaired by a local shop 2016 188. solid welded 1/4" flat bar to each side, blasted and painted. The titanic wouldn't break this thing now.
