I'll have to look into the Fury as well. 62-64 solo is what I'm aiming for in the end.
I am currently runnign the VMX3, which is Power Techs copy of the yamaha T1. The prop seems to have pretty good lift, but I just feel like Its lacking a little in top end performance. I just...
Tempest seems to be pretty popular from the research I've done. You think that PowerTech would run a little better at 2 3/4, or will the Tempest run higher without losing grip?
I'm running an H18 with a 150Sho. Currently running a powertech 23 pitch, 3 3/4 prop to pad on a 6" jackplate. Alone I can hit about 59-60 at about 5900rpm, about 57-58mph with a passenger. I'm...
So I just replaced the Yamaha 115 on my H18 with a 150 Sho. I'm curious about the setup, I'm currently getting about 58mph 5500 RPM with a 23 pitch powertech, Prop to pad is about 5 3/4", with a 6"...
I'm going out this weekend. I'll get a pic of it in the water.
Lol wanna trade? I’d slap a 150 on in a heartbeat. Boat runs great with the 115, but I always want to go faster.
By myself I can get about 47, with a passenger about 45. I'm hoping with a plate and a higher pitch prop I can hit 50 or maybe a tad more. As far as the sitting heavy in the stern, I've heard...
I currently have a 6" manual jack plate on my Xpress H18 with a 115hp. I'm looking to switch to a hydraulic plate. What do you recommend I go with the setback, should I stick with 6" or should I go...
Hmmm. I may have to try this. Im runing 3.75 pad to prop with my 19 pitch power tech PTR3 and alone I can only turn about 5700-5800, add another passenger and I'm Down to about 5600-5700. Max...
I called Xpress today to get a performance Bulletin. They didn't have one for my exact boat, but they rep sent me one that is almost exactly the same, same hull design and about the same weight, its...
@doublew I was at 5" prop to pad on Saturday. It felt a little too low, Im going to go up a 1/4", which will be 1/4" lower than where it was originally. I think that would be the perfect height,...
Will do. Thanks for all your help so far, I'll let you know how it goes. I have a quick question, so with this express hull, am I trying to get the motor height at a point so that at running speed...
I raised the engine 1/2". Took it out this evening, RPMs the same, about 56-5700 WOT, when not cavitating, but I lost about 2-3mph. Top speed was around 44.5.
Im guessing I'm too high, should I...
6 months ago I paid 14.5k for my 2009 h18, it had a Yamaha 115 with only 34 hours, 24v TM and all working gauges except speedo. Boat was garage kept.
i priced it to similar boats in my area and...
It was frozen. I cut it off this evening and put a new bolt on, raised with no problem after that. I measured before i raised it and it was about 4.5" from prop to pad. I went ahead and raised it...
I haven't fogotten to update you. I tried to raise the engine and the bolt that you use the adjust the height is seized up. Looks like Im going to have to cut it off and get a new bolt before I can...
Cool. Thanks. I'm going to raise mine up today and test it out. I'll let you know what I find.
I'll start with that. Just curious, do you happen to know ur engine height? I measured hull to bottom of cav plate(with engine trimmed level) and it was about 2 3/4" above the bottom of the hull.
GPS. Model is PTR3 with 19" pitch.
I'm currently running a 4 stroke Yamaha 115 on my H18. Alone with a standard load I can turn about 5700(46mph) WOT if I can trim just perfect and not turn at all, with a 2nd person I can only get...
Thanks for the picture. I am currently getting almost 30 PSI at WOT. I'm going to raise it up to 4" to start and see what happens.
I will start with that. I kind of thought the motor seemed a little bit low, so I'm glad you agree. Thanks for the info. I do have a water pressure gauge. Would anyone happen to know what is the...
So I have an Xpress H18 with a Yamaha F115 and a 6" manual Jackplate. I am looking into adjusting the motor height but I'm not totally sure what a good height is. I know that every boat is...
Heres an update.
The shop ran a diagnostic on the engine and found that the fuel injector on number 3 cylinder isn't opening. I had them check all the fuel lines between the tank and the engine,...
