Soooo been working on my 89 stratos 201, second power head seems to be Strong, but still was lacking in top end speed... Started prop shopping and got an Rk4 4 blade from power tech, couldn't turn it even at just a 24p... It had a bit too much cup added to it... So I hit up performance propeller and traded for a cupped raker 24 3 blade, and bam and instant 4mph improvement from 50 GPS to 54, lowered the Jack plate an inch and got 57.5 GPS, lowered it another 3/4 but decided the water pressure was too low and tore it down for an impeller swap. Hopefully tomorrow I'll see what the 3/4in drop did... Damn water logged foam.... Love the ride though, I can take the worst center hill can offer on its busiest day and keep trucking, but I fish a lot of tournaments and getting in the 60's means I can beat some of the others to the good spots! Lol, except for the Allison, I'll just have to get used to seeing the back of that one...
