I have a 2005 TR196 Yamaha 0X66 25p tempest plus prop worked by Mark (great job) 6 inch jp running between 2.5 to 2.75 below pad. I think I have motor hieght right. I can only get 66 to 67 mph gps 5600 to 5750 rpm medium load. I want to see 70+ mph. Does anyone have any suggestions? Holeshot is good, no chinewalk problem, good bowlift. Does anyone think a Vmax 25p T1 or a trophy 25 would help? Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated. john

Hydrotech Phase III you'll see 70+

Temtest was the faster one on my boat. ChampioN 188 200 hp ox66 25 pitch T1 lost 1 mph and had to be run deeper. These boats are so heavy and I run real light.
Your boat weights 1910 lbs. no motor mine 1850 lbs. no motor. It is what it is. I can't understand why they build them so heavy. That's why they can only hit 70 mph. This is my first bass boat bought it new I thought mid 70's with ease. My model in 2004 they said it was 1400 lbs. 2007 same boat 1850 lbs. now I know why the speed is what it is. You got 200 hp. pushing over one ton.
Thank all of you for your advice. I know the TR196 is heavy but those guys with the same rig running black motors are getting over 70 stock. I was hoping the yamaha was closer to the merc. I would love the Phase 3, But I don't want to end my warranty.
