While only a 50 hp difference, we found an amazing difference in overall responsiveness, as well as speed. Only 50 more horsepower of the 225's, which is only a 12.5% increase, resulted in 10.5 mph more speed, for a 30% increase in speed. Thus you get more than 1:1 increase in speed for hp per mph. But more than speed, the boat performed substantially better at lower speeds, particularly in the 25 mph range which is where you'll run most often. [links]
How Much Power? Another thing we've been learning about outboard powered larger boats, like in the 27 to 30 foot range, is that more horsepower is generally better than less. Sure, you're concerned about fuel economy, but there is a catch 22 here. Testing two identical Grady-White 272's, one with twin 200's and the other with 225's, the one with the lower power actually burned more fuel at lower speeds than the bigger engines. Why? It has to do with torque and larger propeller size that results in greater efficiency at lower speeds. here
Service Those of you who were Yamaha owners five years ago are probably familiar with the fact that this manufacturer did not have the best of relations with their dealers. We heard plenty of stories from our dealer friends about how they played hardball, with the result that a lot of dealers dropped Yamaha. Unless you were lucky enough to have one of those dealers that would really go to bat for their customers, you may have felt the pinch. [links]
In addition to readers in the United States, boaters and boat industry professionals worldwide from nearly 80 countries have purchased David Pascoe's books, since introduction of his first book in 2001.
Yes, there were a few things we could gripe about. For instance, the dual electric power trim motors, which are located on the lower mounting brackets, constantly get wet. And despite the "saltwater series" moniker, they do rust, often badly. Yet, oddly enough, despite two very badly rusted sets of motors on one boat, the darn things still worked. Frankly, we think it's time that these things be replaced with an electro/hydraulic motor that mounts on the inside of the boat, not on the motor where they're submerged part of the time. here

RPM Information: 5000
Your engine's RPM range is important in choosing the right propeller for a given application. For example, if you look at your tachometer at top speed and it is not within the engine's RPM range then that is generally not good. You want your RPM's to be within the proper range while at wide open throttle (WOT). Be sure to do your testing under your normal boating conditions and with a good propeller (not bent, cracked, or excessively chipped). [links]
