My 87' velocity did 70 with a warmed up 2.5. 5.5" CMC jackplate, coned lower (slowin me down), with a 24 small ear chopper, lots of tip cup. About 1" above pad.
Probably do about the same with a stock 200 and stock lower. If it's a Steve stepp model it'll be faster
I have been working with an 87 and a 94 Merc 200 that was barely used. This season we went to solid motor mounts, Boyeson reeds with a massaging of the reed cages, offshore exhaust tuner and cut the exhaust above water. Heads milled .045, timing 24 degrees and a Bob's nose cone that I have installed many in the 80s when I raced. 4" setback. we had difficulty carrying the nose till I tested a Powertech OFX 4 blade at 22". Running Amsoil 100:1 and VP octane booster I was able to pull 74 at 6500 in ideal conditions. The prop works wonderfully.
My 85 with a 200 would run mid 70’s with a 24 chopper level with pad
im new to the site , and to the boat , looking for prop advise 2012 220 w/ a 300 merc any help would be great
What gear ratio and how high is the engine, is it on a jack?? Also what are you looking to do? The more info the better if your looking for help. Tell us what you have on it now and what its doing for speed at 5000 and 6200. What 300 is it? I'm assuming a 300XS? I'm sure if you fill in the blanks you'll get plenty of response here.Quote:
