Papa Joe you will see 2.0-2.2 mpg running 29mph@3800rpm, I did go with 250's after talking with grady. No problems with the weight of the 250's oil tank gone, scuppers above the water line when full. I have run this set up for 5 yrs with no problems. Wot@6k is 49-50 mph with 3 blade 15x21pitch...

I did the same. Left my original in place and drilled hole just forward.

I'm glad you made out ok, I am going to look at mine for any signs of fatigue. What have you been chasing on your trolling. Just curious if the rockfish are schooling yet. It wad a nasty day today. I was at the south jetty throwing eels and with the wind and current I did more driving than fishing.

Thanks guys I will try to contact gw204

thanks for the response guys. the yamaha dealer i was talking to has done this before and i don't know what the repercussions are if this was done,i will call grady to see what may need to be done to the transom if i went this route. i don't plan on getting rid of this boat. thanks

who has done this, i would like to hear your feedback. i did put an extra 200# of water on the back and scuppers were still above the water(aux tank wasn't full). the boat has 225 ox66's now but 1 is blown.

thanks everyone, I'm going to hold off to see what specials the boat shows will have, and give me some time for more funds!!

Thanks guys,both motors are 1998 models, I would really like to save the money but I would also like the 5 year warranty if I got new motors. I do plan on keeping this boat for a very long time (I hope). marty did you have ox66 225's or 200's. ckjr did you see a difference in performance and...

what kind of warranty did you get on that factory rebuild. I really want to stay with yamaha and i may just need to wait awhile for the right set-up, I have a boat show coming up and I might find something there.

hello everyone, well something went south in on my starboard ox 66 225, no alarms and was @3500rpm cruise. The block is trashed and with 500-600 hrs on both engines I"m tempted to do a powerhead but the wife does want to get away from the smokers. Question#1 the boat is rated by grady for a max...

thank you cg this was the first time I've seen oil but like you said, it is the first winter run.

and yes it was black and somewhat thick

sorry I didn't mention motors,ox66 225, caught 19 rock but none were keepers. didn't see any bird's

used the boat yesterday and went to wash the boat the next morning and oil spots under the props and oil streaks inside one prop, not sure what could have caused this. Will be pulling props and looking at seals, and checking the oil for water. I did a lot of trolling that day.
