    Yamaha Vmax series props

    I have a 25-T1 15 1/8 yamaha vmax prop on my 2016 Ranger521c I bought around 2011. It has been reworked. It was a great prop for my boat before I slung an ear. Good boat lift and good speed for a Ranger. 70mph 2 guys tournament loaded. Have seen 74mph 1 time solo. My 2 spare props are newer with the same numbers (1 is a T2) I've sent them off to be reworked by the same company that did my 1st one but the results are not as good. 5800 RPM and 65mph, Feels like I'm dragging something behind the boat and can't get the boat out of the water. Its not easy to drive anymore
    Just wondering if this may sound familiar to someone and if they were able to resolve the issue

    Thanks

    You need extra tip cup to lift that bow

    Yep, after I added 25 lbs of upgrades to the bow of my 2016 Skeeter ZX200 I was advised to get extra tip cup added to my prop to get my lift and speed back. It worked on both the T1 and a PowerTech T1 clone.
