I have a 2011 Skeeter FX21 with a Yamaha 250SHO on the back of it. I’m running two gen1 8’ talons as well on the boat, 3/4 tanks fuel, 1 passenger, and with what I would consider normal amount of tackle (couple boxes of soft plastics and 7 or so Plano boxes and 12 rods). I’ve got two props that came with the boat a 23 Ti and a 25 Ti from Yamaha. Prop to pad height is 3”. RPM’s with the 23 is 6000 at 68.2 mph and with the 25 is 5800 also at 68mph. Wondering what I could do to get some more top speed out of the boat. I really figured this was a 71-74mph boat even with the talons. Is the weight of the talons holding it back that much or is it something else I’m missing.
Thanks ahead
