i got a buddy that has a 04 sx 190 with a 150 vmax and he switched to a 24 tempest said the 25 was just a tad to much for his boat and he is gettin 64 gps with his now
Some might turn the 25M with decent results, but the wot rpms are lower. I wish Yamaha offered both odd and even pitches, then a 24 would be available. IMO, the 23M is better suited for application, as I prefer to keep the rpms higher.

thankx guys !! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif
What is the specific hull, current prop and rpms?
The 24 bravo1 will be the best holeshot and load carrying prop... But it will be a few mph slower on the big end.
the hull is a 99 model ZX series 18.5 an the prop is a 25 m stocker .
right now she hits anywhere between 58-60 loaded depending on fuel ,livewells and such and as far as the RPM's it ticks 5400

Stocker? I want to see a pic. I think its a 25M Pro-Series. Heres the 24 Bravo1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...51043
Sounds like your motor is too low...
Since you already have the 25M, I suggest having it worked by our BBC prop guy, Mark Croxton. We need to know more info on your current setup.
WOT rpms
gps speed
jackplate setback and propshaft height
holeshot rpm and time
well you know when I said "stocker" I ment it came from the factory like that . it is slang around here!!lol http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

I thought the same thing, but I was waiting for someone else to post it!
I have a 25M on my Mariner Mag III 150, with a 6" Springfield plate thats 10" offset, its sitting 2.5" below pad. I can turn mine about 5850-5900 but thats probably due to the higher gear ratio of the Mariner? I run 65-67 gps with me, partner and a full load, best I have seen is 70.9 gps with half a tank and just me on a 58 degree morning.
