    Back In The Saddle . . .

    After a short adventure to other areas, I am now back into a Champ. My back has won out (or should I say wore out) so I decided to get another Champion. After several 202's and 3 184's I decided to buy Basshunter203's boat. The deal was right and I couldn't pass it up. Now I'm looking for some prop advice. This is a 99 203, 10" Atlas hyd., 07 Yammie 225. He was running a Powertech Tro4 23 at 66mph, around 5600 RPM's, 2 guys and medium load. He wasn't worried about speed. I AM !!! I'm waiting for a reply from Mark as to what he thinks. I will probably never run much more than 25-30 gal of fuel with 2 guys and a pretty light tourny load. (livewell full of biguns ) I know this rig has more kahoonas than that !!! Lets hear what you all think about props for this thing. Thanks, Jim

    Looks like I'll be getting a 25 Tempest or T-1. Probably try both just to see what happens. Not to up on Yamaha props. T-1 - Pro series... can someone enlighten me ?
