Those are pretty impressive numbers Duf! I can squeeze out about 48 MPH on our 22' Outrage with the 200 HO Etec and 17 pitch MiragePlus prop.


I haven't played with the prop yet Dave, and i have a 14 1/2 X 19, that has another stamp on it that says 21, so i'm thinking its a repitched 19. I would think that it is to small a prop on a 225 but the RPM's are right at 5600, which i understand is what you want. Now that the wind is laying down a little, i'll be going out after i get back from a 2 week business trip, and do some speed runs on a really calm day and recheck my RPMs out without a tank full of gas. ;)
