Skeeters 200HP to 250HP build

[wrechin2]

200 SHO???? LOL!!!! Just think...4 more hours you get to see what yours will run at the 3- 3 1/2 range! Just remember to LET OFF SLOWLY when coming to a stop after a long pass. Don't let off all at once.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah, cant call it a 250... The cowling clearly says 200 emoEvil . Cant call it a 200HO. That just dont cut it. but the 200SHO seems to fit this application ALOT better. emoThumbsup

Just seen your post on there... Guess you have done seen it huh?

 

[wrechin2]

looks like you right there with everyone else. You may get a few more MPH out of it. Tweaking the current set up.

???? UPDATE please.......

Havent had a chance to put much time on it. Everytime I get a chance to get out its raining. I went out a little while Sunday to try your prop. The boat didnt seem to like the 2 tempest props I tried. Didnt get a chance to play with the plate or anything. Did more fishing then riding. I think once it gets more time on it and the weather clears up I will be able to play with the PVS plugs some. The small ones made it a pig out of the hole. I am going to try 1 med. and 2 small one and see how that works out. The Rakers is still on top for now.

 

[wrechin2]

You may try 1 out, 1 medium, and 1 small. Just keep me up to date..

Skeeter, how is running, or has it been to cold to for you to take for a spin?

 

[nickajack-smack]

The old raker's are mean props if you can turn one there fast

 

[Skeeter]

I plan on taking it out Wed. Me and my partner have to start prefishing.. So far it has ran great.. Still got about 3 hours left on it.

 

[wrechin2]

GET-R-DONE!!!!!! I need to get with you on getting some of the modified stickers also! Later

 

[Skeeter]

14 more min. left on break-in............. WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! emoDance

 

[wrechin2]

Gotten any stronger on bottom and midrange???

 

[Skeeter]

Havent really noticed a major diffrence. i think it may be a little too fat but better same than sorry. I do thing i am over weight.. well not just me, but the boat. I have ran the same distance with my partner V/S solo on the same day, same conditions with a 3 MPH increase. I think if I took out some weight and had my prop B&B I could hit the high 70's. AS of right now with 2 people fully loaded with a full tank i am running 73 @ 6K. 75 Solo

 

[wrechin2]

That is still a HUGE increase from before.
