WOW thats quite impressive. What prop are you running? I just bought a Mercury Mirage Plus 17P to replace my Yamaha factory steel prop. It will be interesting to see how much if any I gain from this new prop.Its the same pitch as the old one but about 2 inches in diameter more. It ran 43MPH last...

Hey thanks. Im bidding on one right now! DO you know where to get a hub kit so it will fit my Yamaha? I was thinking no luck with that on E-bay so maybe my local Marine Dealer here in Phoenix can help me out? Cheers!

We put the 200HP Yamaha V-MAX on this 1989 Overnighter a couple months ago but had to wait for the adapters and some other retro stuff to get it running again. It use to have the 175 yami which was a great motor from 89 until a misfortunate occurance down in mexico in 2007. We finally took her...

Took my 89 overnighter out on the lake the other day with a full load on the new 200HP Yamaha. The old 17 pitch stock prop is right where it needs to be (5500rpm @ WOT). I am interested in going with a Stainless :?: prop in the same size and wanted some opinions of what some of you use. I have...

Thanks! I was just curious more than anything since I have heard people say different things. It use to have a yami 175 ( the same one in the catalog pic!lol) and i was told the 200 would be great but that I could get away with a max of 250HP. Thanks for the info though, I appreciate it! Happy...

I just installed a 200HP yamaha on my 1989 overnighter and was curious what is the rated max HP for this boat? Thanks :D

Thanks for the response! Yeah if it is required I will most likely locate it below where the battery is on one side so that I can have all of my rigging in the factory rubber tube. By the way, nice grady. Not too often do see that color especially here in AZ or down in San Carlos!

The V-max can be had with either a 20 inch length or a 25. I got the 25 which jacobsens in Seattle ( where I bought the boat in 89) said was the right length. The motor is really nice. Looking forward to seeing how much I gain. Gotta love EFI, starts instantly! :D

Just finished installing a 2002 200HP Yami VMax on my 1989 Grady Overnighter. Seeing that this engine is fuel injected unlike the old motor can I get rid of the fuel line priming bulb or is it still needed? I would love to get rid of it to clean up my rigging. Thanks! :D

No ideas?

Hey everyone. I have a 20' 1989 overnighter that up until last week had the original 175HP Yamaha on it. While in mexico it burnt a cylinder so I decided to upgrade and went with a rebuilt 2002 Yamaha V-Max. My question is, what wire harness is needed to make this all funtion? The 10-pin plug...
