Cajun4746 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Posted November 15, 2016 Forgot to add that boat also comes with a Bimini top, a full boat cover and a new Pathfinder back seat never installed. *** Boat is located in Dulac, LA ***
redzone1 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 A 2006 year model 2200 had a 20" transom. The z200 has a 25" shaft. Do you have the run with jack plate up all times to prevent the cavitation plate from being buried too deep?
Cajun4746 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Posted November 15, 2016 I do have a jack plate but it runs at normal height.
civilized Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 can you send a pic of the back seat?
redzone1 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 I've never heard of or seen a z200 "grey" with a 20" shaft. I like the look better with the grey. Nice looking boat
Cajun4746 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Posted November 15, 2016 Civilized, my seat has never been installed, but is exactly like this one.
Cajun4746 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Posted November 15, 2016 Red zone,. Thanks for the compliment - she is certainly a clean boat. I'm heading down this weekend to take a bunch of pics of the boat inside and out. I'll make sure to take pics of the motor/jack plate/transom. Now you have me doubting myself. I don't believe it's a 25" shaft, as the boat runs best with the Jack plate set at the lower 1/2 of its travel. The boat runs 51-53, depending on load, with tabs up. Hope this helps.
redzone1 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 Apparently they did offer the z200 in a short shaft.
Miss Jazzy Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 Better look a little closer to the model number on that motor. The Z200 HPDI (Grey motor) was only offered in 25" shaft. Someone most likely swapped out the lower unit from a 20" motor. This was done the same way on my buddy's Pathy. Not a big deal but people may be questioning. I think the only difference in the grey HPDI and Vmax is gear ratio.

Could have had the cowling swapped at some point, I'm almost positive that the VMax and standard cowlings are interchangeable. As stated above, the only thing that swapping a 20" lower unit in place of a 25" will do is leave you with a driveshaft that will be too short to slide into the bottom of the power head. What color is the lower unit? Dark blue/black, or grey like the cowling?
Cajun4746 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Posted November 17, 2016 Guys, While I appreciate everyone's help, I can assure you the lower unit, cowling, etc. has NOT been changed. I believe I may have been mistaken in my earlier post about it being a 20" shaft, and I will verify this weekend when I can get to the boat to determine if my motor is indeed a 25" shaft Z200. If so, Pathfinder used a jack plate to mate it to the 20" transom on the boat - common for the motor/boat application per my understanding. I'll attach pictures, but regardless, the combination works great, and the motor does not sit down too far in the water, and there's plenty of adjustment in the jack plate. More pictures to come this weekend - just looking to sell a great boat, to get a bigger boat.
Miss Jazzy Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Just so you know....http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/07_curr_models_web.pdf
redzone1 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Posted November 18, 2016 If the model # on the motor is z200txr then it would have a 25" shaft. If it is z200tlr then it would have a 20" shaft. My first thought that this was a 25" motor, but it is possible the dealer swapped motors around on other inventory and changed out the mid section and prop shaft to make it a true 20" motor. I did a search on eBay and did find that grey z200 with an advertised 20" shaft, but must have been altered as described above. Either way that is a great performining engine for that hull
Cajun4746 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Posted November 21, 2016 I also have the Pathfinder back seat just like this, new in the box.
Cajun4746 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Posted November 21, 2016 The motor is indeed a Z200 25" shaft with Jack plate.
