Hydromotive Question

[dustyj]

i have a 26 four blade hoss hyperdrive that i turn 6900, but was told that the 25 promax ran like a 26. it looks like my best bet is going to be to find one close by and run it

[xb03fs]

probably want a 26 for sure.

It would spin to red line, 8850(?)

You mean 6850?

Was thinking Dauumm .. I had a 225 P-max with some work and a raised rev limit along with a 2.5 280 that did not turn 8850 !!

I had a 30 pro-max that turned harder than a 30 bravo. I could put the bravo on the limiter on my 300XS not so much for the promax !

Yes! I knew that did not look right.................

[TB21]

Yes!

8850 would've been fun.....

8850 would've been fun.....

Not for long !!!

If you have a stock limiter the 25 hydro will be all over it quick.

I could turn my 25 hydro 7800 easy.

But it fired out of the hole!!

my limiter is set at 10 grand so if i hit that I've got a problem

Run a 25 then. Gets up faster ,shallower and pulls harder than a 26 or 27

[xb03fs]

Didn't notice in my 2003 with smaller props but on my xb21 I did...pulled really hard to 6300/6400ish. With a 25 p prop on the xb21 I pretty much had to be empty to get to 7k with it.

He had a very high slip ratio!!!

i found a 25 promax for sale not far from me that I'm going pickup this evening, so hopefully this weekend i will get to try it out

Just out of curiosity------What motor are you running that will turn 10 grand and are able to fish with ?

i have a 200 promax with slight mods, the most i turn it is about 7000, my motor will never see 10000 thats just what limiter is set at, there are guys that use their pro stock motors to cruise or fish with but those motors only see short burst around 9 or 10 grand when they race, fishing or cruising i would think no more than 7 or 8 grand

I had a couple of 225 Promax mtrs...1 of them I did a lot of mods on including having the rev limit upped. It soon died of too much air (hole in block).
I also had a 2.5 280 SS A blast to drive but not conducive to tournament fishing. If you ever had to idle very much you never knew when it was going to foul a plug and would not start.

Keep it under 8k and it'll live.

i did hear that about the 280's, i have a 260 i run from time to and its a blast, the only problem is the charging system isn't big enough to keep with all the electronics

My fishing partner has a 2003/280ss, that's why we fish out of my rig.
