huntingseasonyet Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Long time lurker and I haven't contributed enough info, so here we go. 2006 2200V with a Yamaha 200 VMAX, no t top, no jackplate, powertech 3 blade 21. Top speed light 59.7 gps. Loaded 55.0 gps Bought the boat and motor new in 2006 , inshore saltwater, 2 tournaments a month, 10 months a year. The most fun toy I own ! Flushed everytime, Yamalube only, Ringfree everytime. It made it to 857 hours and popped. I priced out the new powerhead and repowering and looked at the new boats. I could not find anything new that I liked as much as my 10 year old Pathfinder. The new 250SHO should be in next week, the 2 8' Powerpole blades are here, the Garmin 94SV is here. The old girlfriend will have a new look. Capt. Jeremy Lee was very helpful discussing props as was Marcus Clements at Powertech " Funky Monkey " I will share performance numbers soon.

CG RYAN Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sounds nice! I repowered my 2200v with a 225 sho and played the prop game for a while. The sho is an awesome motor but I'm sure you heard that it doesn't like to twist big props. Pm me if you have any questions, I was just in your shoes.

huntingseasonyet Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks guys. CG, I read all your info at the time. And yes it sounds I'll be playing the prop game. Our bassboat buddies running the heavier Rangers get 75, hope I can break 60 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG RYAN Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 60 is no problem. I got that with a load and a 225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stricklyoutdoors Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Any number updates on the 250 sho repower????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntingseasonyet Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ran the new motor over the weekend and still in the break in period. I'll have numbers soon. After running a boat for 10 years you know how it "feels". The SHO is obviously quieter, lighter, before I trimmed up and added a little tab. Now I don't have to use the tab a much. The boat just "feels" different, in a good way. I've started with a Yamaha pro 3 blade 21M, and will be trying others soon. And oh by the way, my 1 Powerpole was awesome, but 2 poles are life changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntingseasonyet Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Fished all 3 days of the long weekend, 2 guys, Yeti 50 loaded, full tank 60 gallons, and all the misc. fishing stuff. Not perfect prop numbers, but close. The Yamaha pro 21 3 blade slipped a little on turns. Seemed to be a 1 to 1 ratio, 5000 rpm - 50 mph gps, best I saw was 5900 - 59.5 mph gps. The interesting one was the Yamaha VMAX 3 blade 23. On plane in a boat length, no slip on turns. 5000 rpm - 54 mph gps, top was 5900 - 64.5 mph gps. Wind here, chop there, tide running. Prop testing is fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG RYAN Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Nice numbers. Im sure you are enjoying the new motor. I sold my 22 and now have a 24 and I can say that I do miss the "sports car" feel of the 22/SHO. The boat is a bay boat but ran like my flats boats if that makes sense. I love the 24's ride, it is just not as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricklyoutdoors Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Man this makes me want to repower not order a HPS.......................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntingseasonyet Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 It was a tough decision, repower or replace. But I liked my hull. The new SHO, blades and electronics, it feels like a new boat. For the price of the upgrades, if I paid another $50,000, I could have had a new hull. Glad I kept the old girlfriend.
