FishBones Up to Speed
Well wanted to reach out to Skools and especially Ferm for their help in sorting out my prop set up for my 2250 Vector.
The final results came in today with a fully fueled (115 gallons) three large fellows, ice bait tackle etc. etc. Fully loaded 42.5 mph top speed Fully loaded max rpm 5500 with 15 by 17 stainless prop Holds plane at 3400 rpm at 21-23 mph fully loaded Cruises nicest at 3800-3900 rpm at 28 mph.fully loaded. Hole shot a little slower fully loaded but just fine, especially compared to some other boats I have been on. Thanks Ferm for your advise, now find me that 225 carb set for my 200 and I will be in like Flint Also if you guys need a prop and don't have a local set up call the Prop Gods, ask for Ken the owner. Top notch fellow and will take his time and help set you up, and if it is run with a prop he knows it.

You could always send that prop back to Ken and have him put some vent holes in it to improve the holeshot. Glad to hear it works well loaded down.

It did so good today in really snotty conditions Ferm I am never going to touch that baby. We came back in heavy rain and 2.5 to 3.5 footers. I put that bow down just a little and because it now holds plane at such low speed we came in without a single drop from the sea on board and a nice soft ride.
If you or Todd get me that 225 carb set I will pick up a couple hundred rpm and it will be an ideal set up for me. The other thing is that I had her loaded real heavy, I never run with a full tank on that thing because it is such a big tank and I can do a normal day of fishing at least twice if not more with less than half a tank. With that half a tank that motor / prop combo launches that 6000 lbs.+ boat out of the water. Anyhow thanks for the time on the phone brother, I enjoyed the conversations and the wisdom.
