I have never thought of the foils as adding or detracting top end speed. Ideally the cav plate should be high enough out of the water that it really doesn't matter over say 60MPH. But how did the foil effect the holeshot? That would be my biggest question.
@GamblerBassBoatsАй бұрын
The best hole shot set up was the outboard all the way up on the hydraulic JP, trim tabs down a little more than halfway. A soon as the bow breaks over lower the jackplate to 3 or 4 on a Bobs and trim tabs up all the way. It takes some practice to get the timing down and smooth but it's great.

Out of curiosity what makes you choose the Yamaha over the Mercury? I seen in another comment you said the Sho and Pro XS run with in 1 MPH of each other. Are you just a Yamaha guy just like some people are just ford guys or does it come down in reliability or some other factor such as maybe prop options or something of that nature? I guess those Yamahas do look pretty good too though

The basscat runs 92 with two guys so I’d bet still under triple digits but not far from it. If it’s running over 100-110 it’s over proped and a complete dog out of the hole. The elite says 200-300 hp so a 450r is a good click and a half above what gambler recommends. I’m assuming this is the 21’9” model.

Mercury 250R comparison?
@GamblerBassBoats2 жыл бұрын
Mercury 250R is a few mph slower on our boats than a regular Pro XS. It's all due to the sport master lower unit though. Our hulls are too heavy to fully surface the lower without excessive prop slip, so the extra length and drag of the sporty below pad just robs speed. The Pro XS and the SHO run neck and neck. Literally within 1 mph. I've tested them back to back on the same boat, and that 1 mph advantage would flip-flop one way or the other just about every run based on changing conditions.

@@GamblerBassBoats Can a Torque Master gear case work on a 250R? I have run Torque Master components in smaller cases with nose cones due to durability, but never the actual torque master housing. I know the 300R is compatible, but don’t know if it can be run on a 250R.
@AUClay2 жыл бұрын
@@GamblerBassBoats Also, I don’t like the Sport Master on my Allison XB2002, I ran one for about a day and noticed that when you come off the throttle the entire boat wants to drop immediately and get squirrelly. It doesn’t come down smooth, even with a torque tab. The whole boat just drops without warning. A regular Merc gear case with a Bob’s nose cone works way better with an Allison.

@@AUClay so to the best of my knowledge, the only difference between the 250 XS and 250R are rigid motor mounts and the sporty lower unit. The powerhead, operating RPM range, and power output are identical (unlike the 300 XS vs 300R, which are quite different animals). If I am correct on this then there really isn't any reason to push for the 250R unless your setup likes the sport master lower unit. We even run torque master lowers on our 300R setups since they typically don't exceed the low to mid 90's. The older torque master 1 lowers were questionable in the low 90's, but I've personally tested the TM2's with Mercury at Lake X and they'll run low to mid 90's all day long on our hulls. I do however think a coned TM1 might be a smidge quicker and drive a little better at those speeds. Hard to say without testing back to back.

@@GamblerBassBoats I wish people would realize how Gambler, Allison, Bullet, and few others are far superior to companies like Ranger, Skeeter, Triton, and etc. Skeeter, Ranger, and others used to make great boats before producing more boats faster and cheaper became priority.

The red Gambler in the video weighed is right at 22 feet long, almost 8 feet wide, and will run over 80 mph with a stock 250 loaded to the gills with tackle and fuel. In fact, we only care about performance numbers with full tackle and gear in the boat, so that red boat had lead shot bags in all the compartments to simulate real-world use. The boat weighed 4073 lbs and still ran low to mid 80's with a stock 250. That's about as high-performance as it gets man. The biggest difference is that Gambler hulls are designed to be fast with half of a Bass Pro Shop in it, and have an exceptional rough water ride.... not maximum stop speed.
@davidheitman70042 жыл бұрын
you found 1 mph? but what ride did you loose ?
@GamblerBassBoats2 жыл бұрын
If you leave the motor at normal running heights it won't have any impact on the ride. However, if you lower the motor using the hydraulic jack plate so that the foil is closer to the water it will drastically improve the rough water stability fore to aft. When you hit a big wave and the bow starts to go up it naturally is shoving the motor down into the water. When it does the foil will touch down on the water and stop the bow rise forcing the boat to stay nice and level.
