2005 198 with 2022 Yamaha sho 225

[mvanosdale]

Anyone has this setup? Looking for some more mph. Trim all the way out WOT 70mph right at 6k rmps. Tons of water pressure. I have Yamaha 24p prop.

[BalsaBee]

Flash it.

[mvanosdale]

Cost? Who does it?

[HossSauce]

Hydrotech in Nixa, MO. Last I check it was somewhere around $600-$900 for the flash. Can get over 300hp!

[mvanosdale]

Okay. What about a prop. Need more lift

[MMosher]

70 is all that hulls got. Go fishing.

[Brad Jones]

If you end up with a different prop I would be interested in that 24

[mvanosdale]

Nah it’s got more. The hpdi had it at 73 mph. I’ll figure it out. Just looking for recommendations with this setup.

[Bass in the grass]

In theory going up 1” in pitch, will drop your rpm’s and give you a tad more speed, but that’s in theory. I wouldn’t go up 2” though.

[SCOTT196]

Have you adjusted jackplate? What’s prop to pad measure?

[mvanosdale]

Correction. It’s a 25p t-2. Yes I’ve adjusted the jackplate up. I still have plenty of water pressure. But the issue is once I’m loading the boat down with tourney load and another person. It’s not lifting and looking at a 4 blade just hoping for some advice

25 pitch at 6K? A lot of slip?

[mvanosdale]

I haven’t been able to reach 6k. Closest I’ve gotten is 5800 ish.

[STLBassBuster]

Your 4-stroke SHO has a different power band compared to your old 2 stroke HPDI. You will need to tinker with some different props & the jack plate height until you find its happy place. I ran 25 t-2 on a 250 SHO that was pushing a 210 elite. I don't remember what the peak rpm's were but I was in the 72-73 mph range with it. You will probably need to drop down to a 24P if staying with a T1-T2 Yamaha prop.
