sx190 i need more power

[matchangler]

got a sx190 with a f150 yammie on it,and a 23 ballistic prop,gettin about 61-62mph is there anything i can do to get any more out of her without changing the motor,i heard you can,t fit jack plates to these,,,,thanks

[PSM207]

Is your listed speed from a gps?

[PSM207]

A jackplate will fit on that hull. However, there is a warranty issue with the mfr.

yes hand held gps,

[PSM207]

Running in the low 60's is very good. With quite a bit a tweaking, you might get another 1 or 2 mph. The question is; is it worth it?

No phase kit for the 4 strokes (F150). I only wish!

[fishin couillon]

If that's what your running that's pretty good. Don't believe you will get anymore out of it, even with a 2 stroke. I think SJ avg. speed is 61-62 with a jp and VMAX 150 carb.

[Skeeter Jay]

ya, 61-62 is real good, especially with a heavier 4 stroke. I've spent lots of time with setup on my rig (SX190 with 150 VMax and 6" JP) and I feel like I am pretty well maxed out with a balanced and blue printed 25p Tempest at 60-61mph fully loaded, full of gas and partner and speeds in the 63-64mph range by myself.

[PSM207]

The F150 is not a heavy engine. It actually weighs less than the 150 hpdi. Inline 4 cylinder versus V6.

[Bass Junkie]

I guess you decided not to buy the ZX190 with the 200. If you are not concerned about the warranty you could add a jackplate and have some prop work done. Thats about the only thing you can do at this point. You could try some other props and/or have it blueprinted and balanced but you are not going to recieve the full benefit from it since your motor height is fixed.

Its 50 pounds heavier than the carbed VMax, which to me is quite a bit heavier.
