    New motor

    Trying to get some input, if I put a new sho on my 21i what would be the best size and prop for this combo?

    I would also recommend the SHO250, although it might be hard to find one.

    Well looks like I’m going with the 250 sho, repower program 180 months no money down. Guess they twisted my arm. Not that I needed it...

    No offense but if you're going to fiance a new motor for 180 months you might as well get a whole new boat.

    Well for starters the interest rate was the same for any length of time. If anyone knows anything about financing it’s that finance it for as long as possible and pay it off when ever you want. I put that on there to show that Yamaha was offering that. And to say financing a $19,000.00 motor would be comparable to financing a $85,000.00 is crazy.

    Update on motor, found a 250 sho probably one of the few and it was about an hour away. They water tested the boat on Thursday and at wot trimmed out it was 6100 rpm at 75.6 on the gauge. Swapped jack plate to a bobs from a atlas.

    Bringing back an old thread, you got that mph with the sho and stock jackplate? I'm currently putting a sho on my 21i with factory 10" jackplate and was curious what speeds to expect and setup notes.
