Very, very sweet rig. My 2 cents >> Break that SHO in per the book, keep it trimmed in and work it loaded up, trimmed in bow down - PITA, I know. Needs to stay at operating temp, vary your rpm, and minimize idle time til broken it. The SHO is a beast. Go get 'em.

There's a guy in my neighborhood with the same style boat but with a 300 pro xs and his console is wrapped with lsu eye of the tiger. Those rigs are sweet!

That thang shines right there.
Looks a lot better than the unfinished decked ones we saw at the Houston Boat Show. Figgered they would show the best at the big shows. |

RRat, Call Capt Chad Dufrene - http://www.dufrenesguideservice.com/4436.html
He has been running your exact setup. He posted lots of performance data on another site: His comments pasted below: 25 Extreme Performance Numbers Finally got through my break-in period and got to let the big dog eat. First let me say that Jimmy and Johnny Majek have hit a home run with the 25 Extreme. Being a fulltime guide for the last 14 years and a tournament fisherman I have had the opportunity to ride in and own many different boats models. Up to now the 25 Extreme is far superior than anything I have rode in so far. Holeshot, midrange and top end are great with the 300 Yamaha V6 fourstroke. The boat does not squat and jumps on plane at 2000 rpms without the trim tabs. This is truly incredible for a 25ft boat. I would not have believed this but I do it all the time and everyone is just as impressed as me. Here are the numbers with several different props: Full tank of fuel, Trolling motor on bow, 4 Batteries and on board charger 2 people(Tournament load) 160lb Captain 265lb passenger Mercury Rev 4 23pitch 3000rpms - 36mph Best all around prop 4000rpms - 45mph 4500rpms - 40mph 5000rpms - 57mph 5600rpms - 64.7mph 0ne person 160lb captain 5800rpms - 66.3mph Bravo 1 24 pitch 5600rpm - 63.5mph mid range not a good as Rev 4 Mercury Tempest 23 pitch 5800rpms - 63.4mph Bravo 1 22 pitch 5900rpm - 63mph Yamaha Saltwater series 23 pitch 5800rpms - 62mph The WOT runs were tested with the jackplate at 1", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", and 3" heights with each prop. At the 3" height I could get more RPMS but not more speed all the while careful not to get over 6000rpms. The best speed seemed to be with the jackplate set at a 2" height and trimmed out all the way up. We tried several figure eights and hard 180 degree turns at 30, 40, 50, and 60mph trying to make the boat slide, bite, our blowout and each time she was as smooth as a babies b*tt and never slid, bit, or blew out. The boat does not fall off the pad and bite. She holds the turns while staying up on the pad and does not slide. I put 12x12 Lenco trim tabs and the holeshot is stunning with the tabs down and engine up on the plate. Thanks Jimmy and Johnny for making a saltwater Ferrari sure to impress my clients this year. This boat is truly a pleasure to drive. I know there are many great Texas made skiffs and flats and have not rode in all of them. I can tell you the 25 Extreme is quite impressive. Hope this helps. |
