1983 254, with 1993 twin yami 250's. I'll be buzzing around the board looking for answers to my 1001 questions. Good to be here and despite my project, a proud new owner of a 254 Classic Mako....
I think I spun a hub the other night leaving Bayfront Marina... Attempting to plane, motor felt like she slipped and rpm went up with no forward momentum....any ideas?
Also a quick question ... . I can't get her over 50 mph at 5000 rpm on both motors... Does that sound right? 500hp is overkill on that boat , and only 50mph? Not that I would go faster, but I'm thinking fuel economy as well. I thought it would cruise at about 45 and get about 20 mpg but ....I cruise at 3800 rpm , gives me 32mph at 19 gph.... To go 45 I have to be at 4700 rpm and its about 40 gph !!!
