Performance on a 20cc with a 200 Yamaha ox66

[Caymanboy]

Does anyone have or know where to get the performance #'s for this setup? I am running a 200 Yamaha ox66 on a 20cc with a 19" prop, turning 5200 and getting 42 knts. Is that about right?

My 200 merc runs 5600 and 48 with a 19 and a T Top - mine is the XRi which is supposed to be 220 - seems like you should get a bit more, can you raise the engine higher ????

I guess i will give that a swing, running the cav plate about 3/4" above the bottom, and I have the room on the holes

Dixon, are you really running 48 knots (55 mph) with a T-top? Man, that's haulin' !! Maybe I'm ignorant, but I'd be afraid of breaking my top at that speed.

Like Dr. Suess said, "Go Dog, Go!"

Frank - I think he's 48/49mph with the 19 pitch. I seem to remember a discussion about the 50mph barrier being tough to crack.

5600 with a 19p and a 1.87 is in that ball park 48/49mph. 5800/6000 is breaking 50mph with a 19p mirage plus.

Yeah, that sounds right. If I'd engaged my brain first I'd have remembered that.

You're right about how difficult it is to break the 50 barrier. I got my Seafari over 50 mph a couple of times (when I had the Mercury 2.4L), but the weather, loading, chop and everything else had to be just about perfect. My best ever was an indicated 47 knots on the GPS. More normally, I topped out at 42-43 knots. And for some reason, I always pushed the boat to WOT at least for a little while, just to see...

I had 1.62 gears (I think, or maybe they were 1.65), with a 15.25"D x 16.5"P custom PowerTech OFS prop, turning 6100 rpms, lightly loaded, with a nose cone, low-water pickup, cavitation plate 2.25" above the keel, running the prop just barely surfacing. With a strong cross-wind, it could get a bit squirrelly at top speed. It was fun, though.

When I first seatrial my 20cc w/ DF140 Suzuki after putting on the bracket, I was running a 20" pitch Power Tech prop and hit 47 kts- 54 mph. Light load with two people, and it was chine walking The hole shot sucked, and only turning 5000 rpm. I now run a 18P prop because I wanted a decent hole shot with heavy loads (30 gal bait well, or full load of scuba gear/tanks). Tops out at 40 mph @ 6000 rpm. I may be a little under proped, but for Sebastian Inlet, I really wanted some low end "get up and go".

I run an ox66 200hp, on my 21, bracket. I get 47mph @ 5400RPM with a t-top, running a 19p.

Thanx all, at least I'm in the #'s, will do some tweakin and see what we get.
