25 Horsepower 4 Stroke Yamaha Jon Boat Max Speed Test

[@dougweaver8317]

I have a 1542 with a 25HP 4 stroke, added floatation pods to the transom, made a huge difference in performance and no water coming over the top of the transom. Well worth the money.

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

I have a 03’ Yamaha 25 four stroke on a Lund 14 SSV tiller.It’s a deep V, very light boat. Just me and gear about 28 mph. I don’t have electric tilt & trim. I had to install a fin on the cavitation plate to get up on plane easily. It also made it ride much “flatter”. No dolphining. On a flat bottom boat I don’t know if it’s necessary. Nice boat you got there. Congratulations on captains license. Cheers from Chicago

I have a 14ft jonboat with a 25hp yamaha 2 stroke motor...with 2 people I'm consistently doing 32mph wide open in the Everglades in Miami fla

[@stephenpersic9474]

I think that your boat doing 30 mph is really great , that's very fast on water and having the well full didn't affect your speed at all , still 30 mph which is awesome I'm sure even with another person you can still get 30mph

[@rhonytrujillo9700]

I was doing 37 mph with an f15 in a 12w and a 12 pitch prop. The trick is engine height and trim. I made a jack plate for mine and ran my cavitation plate 1.5 inches above the bottom of the boat.

1minibean thanks. I just tested a newly bought 1440 jon boat. Top speed was under 10 mph with mercury 2005 15 hp engine. Trying to find the issue that cause the slow speed. I boat has some extra weight due to mods and it was with two people bit it’s still below normal speed, I would say... The prop I have is a polastorm 9 pitch, I thought maybe thats the issue, but I am not sure. Any idea or tip?

Thats not bad! I was only doing 9-10mph with basically the weight of me and two other people with my 9.9. If the boat gets on plane, you're in good shape. I haven't had the same payload with the 25 yet, but I'm guessing it will do around 28.

[@FloBass]

I watched a couple of your vids. That boat moves pretty well with that motor. Some rough water. I don't think you'd want much more than a 9.9 hp because you wouldn't get to use it unless it was calm. For the distances I need to travel to put clients on fish I gotta travel at least 20 mph. No more than 25.

You should get twin 50s. 😂😂

[@gvyberv]

To solve your water over the transom issue pull the pin and adjust your trim down one level. I had the same issue until i adjusted the trim and problem solved. You may get better perfomance as well. At least I did.

[@FloBass]

I’ve messed with it in each setting. I see no difference. It sits so low in the rear there’s not much that can be done.

[@gvyberv]

@@FloBass that is true i forgot about that. My transom is a few inches longer in height. Look into getting a jack plate which I Highly would recommend. I really want to make sure you get the best out of your boat and outboard flawlessly.

[@brrepublic8174]

This is impressive results. And the F25 is a compelling option if you're stuck deciding between a 20 and a 25 tiller, the Yamaha F25 is basically a strong 20 as it is a 2 cylinder design, it has less displacement (432cc) as the 3 cylinder brands (500cc) but more than the 20hp 2 cylinder options (>350cc). It is a true in between and offers the best combo of power and weight savings. I'd like to know what the fuel burn difference is compared to a Tohatsu 25 and see if having less displacement makes a difference (even though the Tohatsu is working less hard).

[@johannwilder1437]

Im glad you said something I was wondering if a 25 was too much for my loweline 14ft I get 16mph with a Yamaha 8hp

[@jimmylanders2693]

i am going to start off with saying good luck with your captain license. i am a 100 ton QMED. generally speaking, you should hit rev limiter unloaded, but never loaded. adjust prop pitch accordingly (+/- 1 pitch) in your case. it seems like your boat could only accommodate 2 or 3 persons max. factor in the weight of the people and gear +(cooler of beer). all of the weight will mostly make its way toward the front which will make planing more difficult. if you did your speed test in fresh water you may want to go to salt on a calm day. you will gain some speed for bragging rights. saltwater is more dense and the boat floats higher. same way when we swim in it (easy to tread water). pitch the prop for how you will use it commercially and keep the prop now for recreational use. stainless props are nearly indestructible and have incredible wear resistance to bumping in to sand bars and such. however, they are heavy and send a shock wave to the gears in the lower unit when shifting gears.

[@FloBass]

Thanks for the info!

[@jtee9548]

[@floutdoorstv7914]

I have a 12ft Jon boat (tracker toadpole) with a 15hp 2stroke Yamaha, with me alone I’m getting 25-26mph. I’ve tested some different props available on Amazon and the stock 10 pitch gave me the best speed. I have lined the floor with wood and carpet but I think at most added 50lbs and I weight 220. Is that a good speed or is there anything I can do to give me more speed. I saw a guy with the same engine on a 14ft run 28mph. Engine has stabilizer tabs and I don’t know if it helps or hurts my speed. I’m wondering why my 12 won’t do 30mph. I’m thinking about up jetting my carb to get more fuel. Any thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@wmkess]

What pitch? Factory aluminum? I”d imagine you can go up in pitch and prob go to a stainless prop. Also that motor would be best paired with a slightly larger boat imo. Something like a 1648.

[@FloBass]

Definitely need a bigger boat. I have to run at least a dozen guide trips out of this before I can purchase a bigger boat. Or if Xpress wants to hook me up, I guess I can settle for one now... 😆

[@musicshuttle]

Am I mistaken or does that engine sound like it has an occasional miss? or is that caused by hitting the rev limiter?

[@FloBass]

If there's no wind, or I'm moving with the current it hits the rev limiter if I keep it at wot. I'm assuming what you're hearing is the audio clipping due to the excessive wind noise at 30mph.

[@musicshuttle]

@@FloBass ok cool, so you're not getting a miss at all, just microphone noise from the wind. Thanks so much for posting these clips, you are inspiring us former I/O guys to go with outboards!

[@cielocresp4424]

very good video a question how big is your boat

[@RUS_US]

1:07 ... it should depend on propeller and RPM. Put the yamaha propeller on the another motor with same RPM and check the speed again. Should be same like yamaha. 5:06 ... i.e. if your 10hp is able to give you 6000RPM then with the yamaha propeller it will give to you same speed 8:30 put some have weight on boat fwd to rise the end.

[@RUS_US]

Check this calculator: depending on prop pitch it will give you a speed www.csgnetwork.com/marinepropcalc.html

[@MountainManKm]

so you are saying a 10hp could go as fast as 25hp?

[@FloBass]

With this 1436 and a small amount of tackle I was able to go 22mph with a 9.9hp. Obviously more gear and/or another person you go slower.

[@RUS_US]

@@MountainManKm the Horse power is required to push against the water. If a hull is efficient and does not produce much drag force then you could have enough speed even from less strong motor if it has same propeller pitch and RPM. Because of that yamaha 2.5hp is twice faster vs competitors.

[@MountainManKm]

@@RUS_US I have a 15hp yamaha 2 stroke, I want to cut and weld my own exhuast, widen it, and make it bigger, mill the head just a tad, drill biggers jets and build a cold air intake for the carb, I know also depending on the height that you have the engine on the transom makes a difference and like you said your pitch and rake, I guess I just never thought about it like that. I mean I knew the hull shape mattered and I knew the prop did too, but ur right if the rpm is matched with a good hull and prop it can go just as fast. I still wouldnt believe it would be faster in acceleration.

[@weekendboater]

I wonder how does the trim angle affect the top speed on this boat? Neutral setting vs moving the column away from the transom to compensate bow going up when in max speed. I plan to do some tests and a vid when checking different angles on my small Honda F15 engine and a crescent boat :)

[@FloBass]

On this boat the trim angle made no difference in top speed. It rides on a very small pad. Even with a 9.9 it would ride on a small pad. It really needs a jack plate to raise the motor to go faster. Then you’d most likely need a prop with more pitch.

[@jimbob9799]

Jack plate would help him out more prob but would be minimal if he is running out of rpm already

[@derickashby8294]

I'm thinking to get a 1436 with 25hp jet for shallow water

[@humanitynow1565]

Excuse me , do you know the weight of this jonboat ? And the dimension please ??? Thanks for the video , very nice

[@FloBass]

Its a 1436. Probably around 150lbs with nothing in it.

[@shawnhagen6871]

Trim that motor up, when you gave the drone footage you could see the front of the boat had layed down on plane. Keep the bow up and you’ll add 3-5 mph. Not to mention it won’t prop wash as bad in reverse. I’m running 20 mph, 2 people, gear, 14-36 war eagle with a 9.9 Yamaha 4stroke. Running a 15hp carb & stainless prop

[@FloBass]

Yeah I wanted to put a 15hp carb on my 9.9, but I knew it wouldn't be enough especially with my baitwell. It already bangs the rev limiter even with another person in the boat along with a full well so I'm not sure if I'll get any more speed out of it, but I'll give it a shot.

[@victorpeirce4753]

*Trim it out as far as possible. All these imbeciles saying put weight up front have zero idea. You want just the prop in the water and the nose slightly raised,not ploughing through the water like it is. You will pick up 10 kmh in top end speed. You lot are clueless about getting the best performance out of a boat.💯%*

[@chadbosko8935]

I want this motor, I wish you would have tried it with a 12 pitch prop, I'm thinking it would go even faster because it might have enough hp.

[@FloBass]

100% would have went faster, but the motor was never going to stay on this boat so no point in spending money on a prop that wouldn't push a heavier boat as fast.

[@Elon_Trump]

awesome boat bro. thanks for sharing

[@FloBass]

Thanks, Shane!

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

I’d go with the same pitch but a quality stainless one, this will load it just a tad so you don’t tag the limiter when it’s just you and still have enough holes shot when you have two bodies and gear. Keep the old prop and tools onboard, if you’re prepared you’ll never need it luck.

I just ran the testing with the 12 pitch prop vs. the stock 11 pitch on the DF25A. 3 mph faster top speed, the engine loves the prop. BUT - I noticed it takes more to get up on plane. The truth is I put the 11 back on because I prefer to have that perfect blend of hole shot and mid range beastly power and ease of on plane times and be satisfied with 27 mph top speed. I used a solas amita prop and I have a chirping or kind of squealing going on which drove me nuts, not sure why. I never had that happen with stock prop. I also noticed my motor mount bolts were loose, this may have been the cause of the noise. (22 hrs. total time on the boat and Motor). I will retest on the next nice day. I posted a video last night of the chirping noise. - Thanks, Jeff

Luckily, we have a billion boat ramps in my area... so I don't have to travel super far by main motor. It would be nice though... to be able to put in at the fresh water canal/river at both ends of my street... and cruise the 5 to 10 miles to salt from the end of my road.

Stock prop that came on it. 9-7/8 x 11-1/4. The tracker is super light with just me in the boat, and no other gear it bangs the rev limiter, so it could go faster with a higher pitch, but it would decrease torque to get up on plane. The motor is now on a 15 foot mod V duck boat & the factory prop is perfect to get the boat on plane with me and two passengers. It pushes the boat about 24mph with that kind of load.

Thanks buddy 👍🏻

[@andrewmyers9675]

I have the same motor on my 15ft boat and if u look right next to the inlet for the gas line their is a push button start

[@FloBass]

Not on mine. I specifically ordered the pull start.

[@ChuckNorris01]

Details of the tack/hour meter please. I need this as well

[@FloBass]

Its just a cheap one from amazon. Don't leave it exposed to the elements.

[@ChuckNorris01]

FloBass thanks for replying back. What does this attach too? Sorry in advance new to the boat life

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

Dude whats your set up ima look at saving up some for a 14x48 jonboat with a 15 transom could get the jackplate and put on either the 25 or 30 yamaha to

[@FloBass]

It’s a 1436

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

@@FloBass roughly about how much did all of your set up go for give me an average of how much money you spent id like to know

[@mikeries8549]

I've seen where ppl will attach a piece of rubber mat onto their transom to help keep the backwash out. Make it about 3 or 4 inches taller. Not rocket science. I'd love to see my 1640 hit 30 mph. We race to the duck holes on a river.

[@FloBass]

I'm looking at Xpress 1650's. I hope it will still do close to 30 with this motor.

[@mikeries8549]

Look at an old war eagle. They're very light.

[@slaterwatkins3315]

Mike Ries oh yea. Got a Suzuki 3cyl and that thing flies in the woods duck hunting

[@creekside6013]

How did you mount the transducer to your transom? I have the same boat.

[@FloBass]

I run a clamp on bracket on the transom so I can remove it when I'm running. Didn't want to drill holes in the boat.

[@creekside6013]

FloBass awesome

[@alexisruizperez2184]

My 12ft we 2 people 4 gallons gas my 5hp 1967 evinrude go 13mph is good ??

[@FloBass]

With a 5hp? Yeah I think thats pretty good.

[@MIDNIGHTSUNALASKA]

Length, weight, model of boat.?

[@FlatlanderGear]

Probably 1436

[@avegyaq]

What's the mph on like for instance 3 people total, plus gear? I'm sure alot would be interested in real world numbers as far as liad and performance goes. ( Fishman or Hunters or people who transports heavy l9ads)

[@FloBass]

I can tell you it still goes 30mph with me, a full baitwell and someone that weighs around 120lbs.

[@reddawng43x91]

Im still tryin to comprehend how theres no speed loss adding 200 or even 400 lbs more

[@crackerjack8115]

Is that the same tracker 14 you had the 9.9hp On? Really thinking about goin to bass pro shop for one these instead academy alumacraft special

[@scottbeefful]

Just saw it on your description, was going to say sure sounds like it's hitting the Rev limiter. You need a spare prop anyways might as well go up a couple pitches. It will probably go just as good on a longer boat. Happy guiding.

[@FloBass]

I’m talking with a few prop shops to get a better understanding of the science behind it. I’m sure it would push a 16” just as fast. I’ll upgrade the boat when I run a dozen or so guide trips out of this one.

[@seththemessenger5125]

got me one ever since i watched the unboxing and this vid

Its just plywood that I painted with marine epoxy

[@janjandraper9378]

bro just wanna ask u.. what's the type of ur boat?i like it.. really. 👍👍

[@FloBass]

Tracker 1436

[@tpainter81]

My old 1982 evinrude 25 will push my 1648 24 down river if it’s calm. 22 in waves or up river. That’s with 2 adults and 2 kids

[@AlexLoVecchio]

I’ve been saving for a new outboard all winter. I think you sold me on this one. It’s very close in price to the 20 Merc efi I was looking at, but way faster. How’s the back of your boat sit with the 25? I have a 9.9 Honda that weighs like ~117lbs so I reckon this would be about the same at ~126lbs. I have a 14’ v with a 52” transom, so slightly wider than your 1436. Concerned about weight cause I’m kinda fat lol

[@FloBass]

With a normal amount of gear I don't see you moving slower than 25mph. Definitely get one with an electric start though. Its only $300 more and worth every penny.

What kind of floor are you running

[@zsozsousa1]

Can you tell where did you get that aluminum transom support?

[@FloBass]

Custom fabricated by Hutchs Welding

[@zsozsousa1]

FloBass thanks. Looks pretty sturdy.

[@zsozsousa1]

@@FloBass Thanks for your reply.

[@riverakers]

Weight distribution is the key to performance on a small Jon boat.Good luck on your captains license!Too bad you do not have the integrated live well in the center seat.

[@FloBass]

I've been looking at 1650's with the seat livewell, but only issue is I bait up with threadfin shad for clients, and they don't last in square wells. You need round edges and a circular flow of water. I'm hoping I can modify a 1650LW model with my well.

[@hankimus10]

Check out wave wackers transom guards

[@davidmcfarling8319]

If you put hydro foils on your cavitation plate it should get on plain I got a 9.9on a 14 ft v hull and I get 22 mph and also tried trimming up the motor then hydrofoils will allow you to do that which will save on gas and more weight in the bow also love your content man

[@FloBass]

Boat gets up on plane in 2 seconds so I don’t think a hydrofoil is needed. By myself I got 22mph with the 9.9. About 18 with me and the well full. But once you add another person or another 140lbs the 9.9 would only push 9mph. That’s just not sustainable for what I’m trying to do.

[@davidmcfarling8319]

FloBass I understand you with that mine is the same but with a friend I get like 14 mph but its a lot according to the prop but congratulations on the new motors Yamaha are great engines

[@Sissigiap]

How long you been flying with drone...???👍👍...

[@imortaliz]

allways wanted to do something like this. 30mph feels fast in a boat like that haha :D but did you do anything to enforce the transom?

[@FloBass]

My transom was warped, so I had a new one fabricated out of aluminum. You can see a brief shot of it in the unboxing video of this motor.

[@Jake-xm6fl]

Which propeller are you using? Do you know diameter and pitch?

[@FloBass]

I don't remember the specs. I did get a shot of the specs stamped onto the prop in my unboxing video. When I have a passenger and some gear in the boat its the perfect pitch and diameter. I average somewhere between 26 - 29 mph

[@Jake-xm6fl]

I ordered a spitfire 4 blade 9.3x11 and a 3 blade 9.3x11... gonna run some tests and go from there

[@dorospolidorou7088]

I use the same motor on 4.30 rib boat.. with 2 persons and fishing tools i get 23mph... is it ok?

[@FloBass]

It sounds about right.
