PGolz Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I run this same setup, curious what prop you are running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I had the same boat except with a 200 HPDI and then 1600 hours later...I swapped for a F250. Great rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanjj Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 With the F250 I ran a Power Tech OFX4R- 21P. My 2400V with the F250 would run 53 MPH @5500 RPM . The boat would actually run faster ( closer to 58 MPH ) with a 3 blade prop, but it didn’t have enough stern lift with that heavy F250 on back. Overall, the boat just handled better with the 4 blade prop. On the 200 HPDI, I ran a Power Tech 3R - 19 and she would run about 44 MPH @ 5800 RPM. That 2400V was a great boat.....I probably should have never sold her. Currently have a 2200 XL with F150.... running a Power Tech OFX4-R - 17....and runs 43 MPH @ 5600 RPM For me, I cruise around 3600 RPM and the 4 blade props just seem to lift the boat better than the 3’s. We seldom get a chance here on beaches of South Georgia to run WOT... so my speed days are behind me. Good luck, JJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGolz Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thank you jj. I have been recommended the OFX4R-21 before and that's the way I've been leaning. Currently running a Yamaha M-25 prop and can't get more than 41 MPH out of her at 4600 RPM or so. Hoping that a pitch drop will help with that. I'm in South Georgia also but I still like my speed when I can use it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Marcus at Power Tech Props and he will help you for sure. JJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
