Glad to hear it runs! 85 in a bow rider with a little old 250 yammy is hauling the mail my friend!!
Now call Hydro Tec and start ordering parts for that beast and start making them 300's feel real bad!!![]()
Yes man I don't know if more parts are in the budget this year but they respond really well to cutting .050" off the heads. The motor runs and looks like new with a little polish up!
Kushog,
When you have it set back that far, do you find that it tends to want to blow out just after coming up on plane? Also are you going to try to come to the Muskoka Checkmate Rally this year?
That's interesting; thanks for the information. I can't really speak to the lesser setback.
I find when I roll on it works fine. However, if you were say pulling a slalom skier out of the water with 4 people in the boat, I have to give it more gas and if I'm not careful walking the line, it will break loose and sink
Those are pretty impressive numbers. I should get you to help set up my boat up.
2nd yr with it
2004 merc 225 efi
2006 Checkmate 2000 pulsare BR 8 inch set back hydrolic jack plate

No but I did look at that one and took it for a test ride on your lake.
This one is white and maroon/red with checkmate horse on front.
sorry don't have pics on this computer.
If the motor is low they are practically undriveable at top speed
Speaking as someone who can't get their engine high enough (yet?), I would agree with this. Also when I had my 10" CMC jack on, because of the angle of the transom, by the time the motor was back 10 inches, it was already ~4 inches lower the water. When the motor is low, anything around about 75 seems to be... interesting to drive
Interesting like driving on marbles, frickin chine walkin' sob. These boats IMO just don't work without lwp and cone at or above pad. Mine is 27" from tip of cone to pad, 1 3/4" above.
