    Starflight Props

    I hvae a '90 21 Starflight, which I love. It originally came with an '89 200 Merc Black Max bolted to the transom. This is the 2.4L engine. Well, loose screws on the reed cage and ka-pow, there went my 200. Anyways, I ran a 23p Laser II and was happy with it. It would turn 5.9-6K with 2...

    What's the biggest engine?

    Well, it has taken a long time due to hurricanes and other crap, but here is my latest. My 94 245, with 12" rapid jack, turning 22p big ear chopper, 76 mph @ 7300 rpm. Damn, I am happy! My old dog 2.4 200 was only good for 61. At about 75, she even started walking a little on me. This is...

    How much water pressure????

    OK, I am getting ready to purchase a water pressure gage for my 21 Starflight with the 2.5 245 on it and wanted to know how much water pressure should I expect? Gaffrig sells 2 gages, a 15 and 30 psi. Should the 15 be enough?

    What's the biggest engine?

    I am hoping that the 2.5 will push better and have the torque I need. This one is actually a 245 hp carbed version. I know they like rpm's but I hope they are not too finicky. I have a 12" rapid jack on the way so I am hoping to have things up and running in a week or two.

    What's the biggest engine?

    OK all you Starflight owners out there, what's the largest motor you all have hung off the back of your boat and how fast have you got her to run? I have a '90 Starflight and am repowering. I was running a 200 mounted right on the transom. Well, I am looking at getting a 260 or so and...
