I have this ‘99 225 HO on a skeeter tzx 200. I have gone as low as 4” prop to
pad and as high as 2” prop to pad. My wot running rpm won’t get past
5600 to 5700. Running a 26 raker. I’m now the skeeter is heavy but the 225 HO should
turn the 26 raker more….,..am I right ? Need some help on this one please
rpm spec is 5300-5800 rpm for that motor

Where did you find the specs. I’ve been looking. I’ve been told
this motor on this boat should run in 70’s. Do you think this is possible ?
How much lift are you getting when wot? Is the bow flying with water breaking behind you or are you running flat with the water breaking out the sides?
Operating range for that motor is 5000-6000 RPM, horse power is rated at 5500. I like to prop them for 5850. I have a 20'1" Champion and turn a 25P Tempest plus right at 71 @ 5850 RPM. Before switching to the Tempest I turned a 24 P Raker at 5850 at 69 MPH. 3.25" below pad.
RPM specs are out of the service manual.
All the water is completely behind me.
NI water is coming out the sides.
Champion; do you think the 26p is too much and I need to
go down to a 25p ?
If you drop a pitch you'll pick up ~200 RPM.
new power pack and new stator installed. raised ptp and settled on the following:
Johnny 225 HO w/ carbs
1.86 gear ratio
Raker 26 (unworked )
2.5 below pad
5700-5800 RPM
69.5 gps top speed
1/2 tank gas
25+ water pressure
not sure if I can get any more from the setup
i would have mark work the raker they were not great when new. he did mine and said all 3 blade were different.
