My dad had a '91 vking yt that he raced. He had a 2.5 245 hp bridgeport with i believe 6 in of setback. The best speeds he saw was around 104. I know at that time he was running a ron hill prop that came off a circle track boat. Not sure what other props he used. Once you get past the chine it is like riding on rails if you have the right setup. I will try to get more info on prop shaft height and other props that work well with this hull but he is in prison so im not sure when the next time i will talk to him will be. I also think he was running an alpha case with bob's nose cone and lwp.

[quote="billyho"]yep al sounds like the right name. never tryed that kind of prop dont you need low water pick ups for that prop it runs half out the water right.[/quote]

Ya LWP is needed with these props...Chopper and Cleavor style...I think both of them would will give you more topend...holeshot on the Cleavor will be a little slower..but I would think easier to drive at High speed and give ya the Biggest #'s..........
Hahahaha then AL it is :up: I knew I was close just couldnt remember who had what...man there use to be a good amount of streams here even up till 5 years ago...wonder where they all are now..prolly just sitting...rottin away..It aint even like ya see them dudes out there in other boats anymore..once our lake turned into Condo's and Baja's/Fountian city all the little speed boats dissapeared :x

yep al sounds like the right name. never tryed that kind of prop dont you need low water pick ups for that prop it runs half out the water right.

I talked to my old neighbor today that had the red and black YT...He said he had 6 inch setback and about an inch above the pad was the best on his........Any of you try a Cleavor???....I know I had one for my vking and it really lifted the ***..which of coarse thats what they are meant to do...I would think a cleavor would make the yt easier to handle so them sponsins aint diggin in ...OH and a guy From Adams county named AL had a Blue and silver YT not Carl...like I said its been a long time ago :up:

yep! ill run into next year for sure im not done yet this year still waiting for a nice weekend hopefully next saturday.

Caseville is a great time.Im sure gill will be posting it again for next year,I missed out this year but last was year was great.Now kosh will be posted here also.So watch for that.It is a Blast every year out.Id enjoy seeing your boat,Its up there with the nicestest ive seen.

11 years you gotta be sick of it by now.As soon as ya wanna sell call me ok.!
No realy sweet ride ya have and after having it that long id never sell it.

I have had it for about 11 years.been to kosh probably about a dozen times i mostly go to the mississippi in savanna like the river always can find calm water. i think im going to try to hit the caseville run next year and the castle rock one and kosh for the races if i know the date.

Same thing going on with mind.Its not chinning.
It not hanging the bow.

First let me say man i looked up all your posted pics.Guy your yt rocks.I realy think the blue and silver makes the boat look sharp..

But im leaning to the point of changeing set back how much now ?
and i hate the thought or new cables for the steering and the cost of a new plate.But all ive read says its the ticket.And like yours the 175 should be still a correct amount of power to fly it.It a rigging thing for us both.

I see your not to far from me.Im in janesville have you ran kosh with your boat.
Since ive never seen it before im wandering.How long have you had your stream

its the front back and forth. i only got a 175 omc on it hope to do a little work on it this winter to get a little more hp.

Billyho
I like the blue on your stream.
As you say you chine walk.Is that just the boat on all 3s swing back and forth
Like going forward with the nose going right and left.Or are you on the rear of the boat rocking back and forth side to side.?

I know i have a hard way of getting my point out there so please hang in there.I hope it'll all help us yt guys out in the end..
