Subject: 2009 Ranger 619 Suzuki 225. Prop question




Posts: 19


Hello I’m looking so see if anybody has any experience with a similar setup as I’m looking for different prop combination. Boat is a 2009 Ranger 619 full windshield with a Suzuki DF 225. Suzuki has a Bob’s 6” jackplate with a 4” setback. Boat has a 12 talon and a kicker motor. Currently turning a Mercury Tempest plus 23 Pitch. Boat does 50 mph and bounces off the limiter with a light load. Boat doesn’t have the greatest grip
in rough water as well. Most people I’ve talked to with my hull are getting high 50 and even touching 60 mph. I’m aware that Suzuki’s have a different ratio gearcase than the mercury's etc . I have tried a Tempest plus 24 and it cavitates at about half trim with the jackplate all the way down. I’ve looked at lowering the motor/ jackplate on the boat and the linkage will not allow in its current configuration.

If anybody has any experience with another line of prop it would be appreciated. Thanks much.
