2220 Fisherman

[Lbridge]

I bought a 2009 Blazer Bay 2220 Fisherman with a F200 Yamaha - it is a great boat - it has trim tabs and a jackplate - after I finished the break-in period on the new motor- I opened it up - here are the numbers - with 60 gallons of gas, 3 men, 2 coolers, and fishing equiptment - WOT - 48 -49 mph (GPS) and 5600 RPM - it has a 23 pitch 3 blade prop - do these numbers sound right or do I need to change to a different prop size- it has a very good hole shot and rides great - I am very pleased - anyone have any suggestions or should I leave the prop alone - I am not a speed guy and usually run 38 - 40 mph - I imagine that it would likely run 52-53 with a light load - I am just not sure if it should turn more rpms at WOT - thanks -

thats sounds about right to me. my uncle has a 2220 Fish with a 200 V-MAX. and a 23" 3 blade and with alight load he can get 51-52mph.

I have a 09 2220 Fisherman with a f200 also. I also have a t-top on mine. I am running a 21p Yahama 4 blabe SW series. I get 46-48 with the same load and turn 5600. I can get 52-53 with just me and light load. I say in the 25-35 mph range most of the time. I am getting between 4.5 and 5 mpg. Let me know what you are getting. I am thinking about getting a 23 pitch prop for some tourney fishing. I would like to get 54-55 mph if possible.

I will let you know the MPG numbers - I have not checked it yet -
