    225 SHO stuggling holding speed in curves

    The motor is on a 400t javelin 225 SHO 25 pitch t-2 Yamaha prop . I run a lot of rivers and I'm entering the curve doing 72-73 mph at 6000 rpms but speed will drop to 57 mph . I've been toying with the idea of buying 24 pitch to try. I must add I'm running a 5 inch cmc hyd plate. If I raise the motor u high she doesn't drop down but to 62-63 mph . Im just concerned to push it in the curves and that height . Any suggestions thanx

    Why are you trying to run 70+ in river turns anyway?

    Isn't that what we do !?! seriously tho boats that hook up better in the curves can make up alot of blast off spots .

    People that blast through blind turns scare the Be Jesus out of me.
    Speed cost money. How fast ya wanna go? I have done so much for so long with so little. I can now do the impossible with nothing!

    Alrighty then. Give a bravo or fury 4 a try. Both should hook up better in turns and slightly reduce the chances of you learning what bow hooking feels like
