94 PII bass cat 200 vmax

**PII Magnum** · 09-02-2018, 02:36 PM

I have a 94 PII bass cat that I just put a 98 Yamaha 200 hp 0x 066 Vmax. I set the boat up at 3.5" PTP running a 25P solas 4 blade right now. Hole shot was pretty descent at 3100 on break over. top speed was 62.7 at 5300 rpm. I have bought a new tach as I think that mine is not reading right. need some help figuring out what I need to do to make it run right.

You might post on the Basscat page to get some experienced answers,some long time Cat owners there.

I did that also

That prop is sorry to say a turd.
Find a 25M Yamaha wheel and you'll see much better results.

I bought it for pennies and it makes a decent back up. I bought a 25 fury last night so we shad see how that runs.

**mdtritn21** · 09-03-2018, 06:35 PM

I don't think you'll be able to turn a 25 fury. Get the 25 M

**PII Magnum** · 09-03-2018, 08:37 PM

I had to order a new tach because mine is not working right. Thanks for the info I have to look and see if I can find one.

Well ran 3 different props today.
Frist was a 25 fury. 5300 RPM 67.8 GPS
Second 25 Tempest 5900 68.7 Prop needs work.
Thrid is a 25 4 blade solas 64.5 5700
All the props were ran at 3.5 PTP

**PII Magnum** · 10-18-2018, 04:59 PM

Well still trying to dial in the boat/motor combo.
Ran a 25 P T1 prop that ran 5600 at 65mph
Ran a 25 P 25 M2 at 5700 67.1 mph.

Send that Tempest to Mark and have it b/b

**mdtritn21** · 10-18-2018, 09:34 PM

A 25 tempest or a 25 m will be the best prop for you. Might try the 25 m at 3.25 under and see if it gains some rpms.

**PII Magnum** · 10-19-2018, 10:55 AM

I was running the 25M at 3" and it was to high. I barrowed the prop so i can't run it again. As the guy several hours away.

Send the Tempest Plus to Ronnie Gilbert. 337-380-1437 He's the best in the business for BassCat boats. Overall, that's going to be your best 3 blade, IMO. But out of the box, most Tempest props need work. So do most Fury 3 props.

If you could get your hands on one, you might also try a Bravo 1 XS in a 26 pitch for a different 4 blade. You can run it a bit higher,hole shot will be great and midrange will be fantastic. But, you might lose a MPH or 2 on the top end, depending.

I will add that tjis tempest is and older model prop with out the adjustable pvs system. Prop needs to be rebuild and have some cup added to it.

**mdtritn21** · 10-19-2018, 03:37 PM

Why add cup having it rebuilt to factory spec should drop your rpm's. There is a new 25" tempest for sale on the props 4 sale forum at the bottom of these pages.

**Midnight Rider** · 10-21-2018, 12:52 PM

I had a PII about your same model year (can't remember exactly) and the best prop I ever owned was a 4 blade Predator Eagle. Great prop, but they are no longer in business. Closest I can find now is a Bravo 1 FS/XS. Not as fast on the top end as the old Predator...

**cajunrgfm** · 10-21-2018, 01:32 PM

maybe a signature Hill SL4 ?
