    X50 setup suggestions

    I just bought a 99 model x50, It has no jack plate and a 99 Yamaha 50hp 2 stroke with a 15 pitch ballistic prop.
    Currently running 36 mph gps.

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting a little more out of it?

    Id say you are doing good. If you want to spend the money a hydro jack plate will get you a mph or 2. You could also try a yamaha black stainless prop

    I can tell you I have a 14 pitch aluminum prop on a 2008 50hp 2 stroke yamaha. I only get 30 mph out of it when just me. So you are doing better than me. I might have to give that ballistic prop a try. I want just a little more speed out of it.
