Default Re: 1978 sceptre

Chaz,
The 225 Yam on my father's Sceptre is turning a Yam 15x15 SS, which gives the boat a great hole shot, 27-28mph @ 4300rpm, and a WOT of 38-39mph @ 5500rpm. He's also got the engine mounted on a manual jack plate with a 6" setback.

If you're really concerned with hitting rocks and you do mostly trolling, probably go with an aluminum prop. You're going to get some better performance out of an SS prop, but they are expensive if you bang one up.
