considering upgrade from 170DC to 190

[jeadkins]

Hi I am looking at a 190B and have been reading various posts. one item I am curious about is how does the 190B perform with the 115HP? What is the max soeed and what is a good crusing speed?

Any other injformation is appreciated, I like my 170 but want more space.

I have a 19Bay with a Johnson 115 HP FS with a 14X20 SS prop. Crusing is 4100RPM @ 25mph. WOT is 5200RPM @ 44mph. 6000rpm is max on this motor

trailblazer to taho--- ranger to f250 --- pathfinder to titan --- pinto to crown vic---falcon to galaxy 500---nova to caprice ---- you should be able to relate to see the difference between 170 to 190
i would go on to the 210cc unless you never see waves over 3 ft

jeadkins,

can't go wrong upgrading to the 190.

I got the Logic 186 (same boat - just older) with a 115 yamahammer 4 stroke.
run out smooth and quite. the only problem with the 4-stoke on the older boats, is that when you take off, the side sculpers drop below the water line and will allow water to come in. as soon as you plane off, out the water goes.

planning on doing the modification installing the valves that are shown in the mod section.

i also, installed the 'Bob's Marine' planner on the motor. it has made a big difference in getting on plane and a side benefit, very little water coming in the side sculppers.

Course, with the newer 190, the side scupplers are now gone.

So Jesse,

You like that BMS cavatation plate? thought you would... Yep, mine works great with that heavy 150 VTEC on the stern for sure. But yes, go with the 190 and unlike most here, I went from a 210 down to a 190...

Enjoy!

Look at this post: http://www.triumphowners.org/forums/...read.php?t=596 Also look at thread #6 and consider upgrading to a Suzuki DF140. It gets the same milage as the Yammi 115 4S.

Putershark, do you have a link to the BMS caviation plate you mentioned earlier? I have a 190 with a Suzuki DF115 and I would like a little better performance and handling.

Thanks.

Yes Sir,

Here is the main page address (my boat is a floating BMS catalog )

And here is the dirct link to the plate...

You can see it along with a skegg guard, Pro Pulse Prop, and a low water pick up mod to the lower unit on my Honda 150 in the pictures I just posted tonight

Enjoy!

puttershark,

Yep, I do like that plate. I am usually hesitant to do some things like that, but it was simple to install. Heck, it was not that expensive. They shipped the wrong one to start withabd were very gracious about fixing the problem.

Put it on, went to the lake. could not believe the difference in getting on plane.

thanks for the link.
