200 hp...and yes. The conversion from my original 3 blade props (Yammie 14x18) to 4 blades was such. It's prob pitched slightly lower than ideal, but my rpms were too low at WOT with the 3 blades. Now they run 5900 at WOT and my hole shot, plane time, and overall stern lift boat performance...

Naw. I checked. It’s 14.5” x 15.

2501 owner here. Twin Yammie I-4 200's. Fly by wire - I agree they are amazing to work with instead of cables. Here are my numbers. I run stainless 4 blade props 18 1/4" x 15" pitch (I think). No bottom paint. Loaded heavy for offshore day and reasonable seas - 3500 rpm; 25 mph; 2.1mpg -...

interesting, I bought my 2501 from Starling Marine (pre-Covid) and had nothing but an outstanding first rate experience. Excellent communication, good follow up, I water trialed several boats and ended up getting exactly what I wanted for an outstanding price. Everything was handled with...

see my previous post on this thread.We have the same hull and same twins.

I had the Same exact issue with my 2501. I wanted better torque, better hole shot, and lower planning speed as well with my twin I-4 Yamaha 200s on my 2501. I flipped out the factory Yamaha three blades 18” for for Solas SS 4 15” blades. Wow! What a difference. Yes I lost about three mph off the...

Autopilot is Right behind MFD fish finder as “most important or most incredible” boat advancements EVER. I won’t ever not have one again. You’ll love it.

Interesting. Weight? It’s not heavier than 2 four cylinders. Good thing since that 350 is a pain in the butt. I’m surprised it is still in production. I think the new 425 on the back of the 25 or the 28 would be sweet. But I love having 2 engines if nothing else for the maneuverability.

I wanted better torque, better hole shot, and lower planning speed as well with my I-4 Yamaha 200s on my 2501. I flipped out the factory Yamaha three blades for Solas SS 4 blades. Wow! What a difference. Yes I lost about three mph off the top end but my engines are so much better now in so many...

Ps- the Simrad NSS evo 3 is a great unit.

Auto pilot is probably the single greatest invention of the modern boating world, no joke. I don’t know what I would do without it. For trolling it’s invaluable, for long trips it’s invaluable and prevents pilot fatigue. I run it in all but the sloppiest of conditions and I just have my cut off...

thx

What would the equivalent be for Yamaha?

Well, I finally did it. I changed out the props on my 2501 with twin Yammie 200's. Boat came with 14 1/4 x 18 three blade Yamaha Reliance props. Prob pretty standard. I felt like the engine lugged a bit with these props and the bow rise/stern squat was pronounced - even for a Parker. I also...
