1996 skeeter zx200 with a 2015 Yamaha 200 sho

[@landcare-outdoorfun176]

I have the same boat. With 1996 200zx 200 efi mercury. I’m getting 80 plus. My bother law has a 22 with 250 Yamaha. He’s only getting at most 65. But his is a 4 stroke. Our older boats hold up to 6 people his only 4. It seems they were built better back then. Great video. Thank you.

I have the same boat same year,but white and black dual console with the old motor.love it

Dylan Stokes I originally had a 150 pro v when it was new, then in 1999 a 200 ox66 on it.

Good Video

Thank you.

Hey man did you have to put any transom support in or is just mounted to the transom? I have a new motor on the way and just checking if I need to get one.

[@lakerunner200]

No sir. Still the original transom. I did have a fiberglass shop inspect it before I put it on.

[@yuckiestpistachio6840]

What camera setup are you using? What kind of camera mount?

[@lakerunner200]

It was a GoPro on a yolotek power stick. I forgot what GoPro I had.

What's your prop to pad height?

@@lakerunner200 are you on a hydraulic plate or manual? And is it a 12" plate? The reason I ask I have a 225 ProMax with a Brucato, 25P Trophy, tourney loaded can barely break 70 in the summer, 73-74 in the winter, trying to find a few more mph

[@lakerunner200]

@@1slammedEK I got a 10” manual. You might want to try a bravo. Those trophy props are ok on some set ups but a bravo 4 blade is a better choice and you might want to try a fury 4 or a fury 3 blade 25. I would try a fury 4 26 pitch if you can’t find a bravo.

[@1slammedEK]

@@lakerunner200 I kicked an blade on my 24 Fury the trophy was my spare, only lost 2mph off the fury, Had a 27 pitch bravo when the motor was on a 20XD bullet. But can't spin it up high enough on the skeeter

Is that the Green Goblin?

[@lakerunner200]

Yes sir

@@lakerunner200 heck yeah I figured it was. I see your posts on the Skeeter FB page a good bit. I have a 1999 zx185c I've had for a year. I'm waiting to see what the insurance does about it. I have $3500 in hull damage and the surveyor found out I have a broken stringer so I'm not sure if they will total it or what. If it is totaled there's a 2000 ZX202C about 4 hours from me with a 225 OX66 I want to get.

[@lakerunner200]

@@tlalexander3 they might. Depends on cost for repair and value of it. If repair is like 80% of value, they will total it but you can buy it back for a few hundred and take the money and have it repaired. You’ll have to get a certificate showing its seaworthy and repairs have been made to get it insured again though. It’s no big deal doing that.

[@tlalexander3]

@@lakerunner200 if I can buy it back I’m gonna do that and part it out. The motor has a new lower and power head. It’s a 175 vmax carbed and I should be able to get about 4-5000 for it at least. And the trailer is a dual axle but I might keep it until I find out if I’m getting another zx185c or a zx190 that is the same size since I can’t find many with the dual axle. Plus the boat has new carpets, seats, latches, gauges etc so I might could sell the hull and get a good amount too

[@tlalexander3]

@@lakerunner200 is that what you did with yours when the stringers went out and you got the gorilla hull?

[@kielkelly6358]

how fast is this setup on top end?

[@lakerunner200]

Kiel Kelly 76mph with a 26 pitch FXP. I have a 27m Yamaha prop I used in this video that will run 80mph but I don’t use it much. It’s been cut and shaved so it might break a blade. Also have a coating on the bottom called a gorilla hull that gains a few mph also so that helped.

[@kielkelly6358]

can I please give u a call i would love to talk about your boat setup for about 10 minutes

[@lakerunner200]

Kiel Kelly sure just email me at lakerunner200 gmail with your number
