Classic1 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Looks good. I’m supposed to get mine on Friday. How’s the 200 run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Owner of same hull and motor here. With the right prop you will be all smiles! The SHO feels like a 2 smoke coming out of the hole. 50mph with 200 SHO. That’s pretty quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron in Atlanta Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Beautiful boat! Love the color choice. Enjoy the Heck out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterman18 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 A couple more pics from today...put a couple more hours on it breaking it in and Opened her up to see what she’d do. Extremely impressed with the performance. was supposed to get a HS 4 blade 21 p but it was not in so they put a sws 15x19...the standard 3 blade, I was not expecting what I saw! Conditions were 15 knots in the bay , found some flat water in the lee and did some tests. 2 guys and full center bait well. 1/2 tank fuel. Stats! 3500 : 30mph 4000: 35 mph 4500: 40 mph 5000: 45 mph full throttle/trimmed up 5 bars ( jackplate down ) I saw 5800 and 53 mph! Shocked to get that.....especially wit a T Top I guess I’ll be keeping the 3 blade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smilemaker Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 that sounds about right the 4 blade will put you down to 50 but if you pull tubes and skiers you will need the 4 blade. alsoyou will get aggravated with blow outs in moderate turns. always nice to have speed but the 4 blade may be a better all around prop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct 4-blade for the current setup would be something more like the Yamaha Ultima 17 pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Trust me you can pull tubes or load the boat for fishing and run the three blade if it’s the correct three blade that is. It sounds like yours is spot on. I ran a 19 pitch merc. Enertia and a 21 tempest plus on my 200. As I mentioned in my first reply on this topic. Plus 50mph all day long with t top just like the OP. That SHO will spool up and pull any water sports apparatus you hook to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterman18 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I’d have no problem towing anything! The torque is amazing and once it gets past 5k it starts to fly as you trim up with no slip or chine walking. It’s interesting, my 2008 TE that I just sold had a 250 SHO with the same prop and would only hit 50-51 and that was with no top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 A four blade like the HS4 ( I run one for years on mine ) will do better at slow speed and it tight turns, like you might see pulling tubes. I was running a river pass every weekend and I could run faster with the HS4 through the bends and get where I was going faster even though the boat over all was slower. The three blade will be a good all around prop and will be faster (although my current four blade is faster than my three blade) but that's another story. I believe you are running Biscayne Bay ?? A three blade will serve you well. How's the fishing there, I have not ventured over there is many years. I grew up stomping around those waters.
