set up

bassmanrich · 01-21-08, 10:16 PM

I recently purchased a 2000 Stratos 19SS. I am looking for the correct engine set up for my 200 Ficht on the back. Been told a couple of different things about what the height of the engine should be. There is a 6" jack plate on the boat. I have a S/S 25 pitch 4 blade Renegade prop. The boat gets pretty squirly

above 65 mph.
Any help will help

laser and zook should help get you squared away before too long. i think bender has a new stratos he was tinkering with too so he may be able to help.

that is chine walking even after you get the right settings, whch it might be close if you have it up that much on the pad .you are going to have t learn to DRIVE it I am sure I posted a video on this in here but I will try to dig it back up and post it again on your tread. but trimming it down will usualy help

J/p, prop and speed are all looking pretty good so far. I was wondering are you talking bout GPS speed or speedo. What are your WOT rpms and whats your water psi a when running flot out all she will??? I can tell you you need to be 3" under pad and your boat will like 2 3/4" under pad. I go STRICTLY by the numbers. They WILL NOT LIE TO YA. Lemme know those numbers and we can tweak her out.
