I'm new to the forum and i was hoping someone can shed a little light on this subject for me?
I have a 1993 24gt explorer with a 2011 yamaha 4 stroke 250.
it has the i guess call it the full transom and then the cast aluminum motor mount hanging off the back to which the motor mounts off.
right now with a stainless michigan wheel apollo 15.5x17 3 blade the boat is a dog.
cruises around 21 knots at 5K rpm.
wot throttle at 5800rpm (i don't push it past that) maybe 25 knots if trimmed perfectly.
i wanna see a lot more top end. my motor runs the smoothest at 4800rpm. i want to run it there and cruise at least 25 knots.
does this seem realistic?
any recommendations? As of now I'm looking into a Rev4 prop to upgrade.
what are you guys running?
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
