Yamaha SHO or Honda 4 Stroke 225 or 250?

[grout-scout]

I am pushing 60-64 on my 2015 797 with a 250 honda duel PP, over half tank of gas and every piece of tackle I own in the boat. would like to try and get closer to 70 just incase i am running behind in a tournament. otherwise I dont run over 55 no need to burn the extra gas. oh yeah timeing is everything when buying a boat! I paid under 50K less than a year ago!!!!! not prostaff nor did I buy it from a prostaff member charger does not really have prostaff!

Have you ever tried any different props?

I'd say my suzuki would run 74 or 75 with just me and gear. I am about 1 pitch under but love my holeshot. 2 guys and gear and I'm running 70 or so. It chines some at 70ish so I usually don't push beyond it.

What model boat are you running?

210 super pro. Procraft.

stupid question with your screen name, huh? Lol...

I thought maybe you now had a Charger or champ. I didn't realize that Procrafts ran that fast, pretty good speed.


Odd thing is on their site they list the 225 at 606lbs and then in another spot, they show 580lbs. There is a dealership pretty close, might give it some thought.

250ss is around 580ish I believe. Procrafts are not super fast. 68 to 70 with a 225 merc, and 2 guys and gear was normal. I can run a couple mph faster than that now, but hit summer slows it down some. I had it to 72 or 73 a few times in the spring, but backed off of it. I just don't like driving it past 70 as it starts to chine some. Currently I swing a 28 4 blade zuke prop and I can get close to the rev, especially early in the year. With a 29 I'd be slower out but would pick up a little speed most likely. I'll take a solid holeshot over speed. I am about a 70mph speed limit person. Lol... Guess I'm getting old.

65-70 is a good speed anything faster and you better be paying attention as stuff is happening very quickly.

No doubt about it TOC.
