I have a 2006 skeeter zx225 with a Yamaha 25M 3 blade and I hit 70ish maxed and I live in WA State as well, I fish Banks Lake in Eastern WA. People that day we can't hit 70 because they cannot have variable factors most being prop, elevation etc . We are sea level so we get an extra few mph out of that versus someone at 3000 ft elevation 😅 Nice boat cheers
I started laughing when you showed what you were wearing before you made your run and then what you had on when you were done. When you said what the air and water temperature were I could not believe the clothes that you had on. When I saw what you ended up putting on I got a chuckle out of that. It seems you've got your boat dialed in pretty good. Thanks for sharing your experience with your new setup.
I just repowered my 1999 skeeter zx210c with a 2019 225 vmax sho and with a 15 1/8 x 23 pitch prop I'm only getting 5200 rpm amd 64-65 mph. Having a hard time getting the motor to hit the 6000rpm. Move it up same thing move it down same speed. Doesn't make since. The marina that did the install says I need a smaller prop, told them I don't think so, I'm seeing 225 sho with 25 pitch and hitting 6000 rpms.
My old ass 2001 Cobra Viper DC with a XR6 has a 23 pitch on it! That Marina is feeding you a line of bullshit, bare minium you should have a 25 probably could get away with a 26, just depends on who makes the prop.

I have an 2017 Skeeter zx225 and it's one Badass Bass Boat....Best boat I've ever had
I can’t believe it goes that fast with your water and lunch in the boat

I have a 27p prop on my 03’ zx225 and it tops out at 69 if I went down to a 25p do you guys think I can get to 70-72?
What is your pad to lower unit shaft set at? 2", 2.5" ???
Less talking, more 73.4mph
