rpms back close to |

where they should be in 110 degrees plus
(Lake Mead). |

The Trophy was also a much better
handling prop than the |

Tempest. The extra 2 mph was not
worth giving up the hole |
|

shote and hard handling." |

on Monday. Outstanding holeshot!
Can't speak about |
|
|
WOT because I am in the very early
stages of the break-in |
|
|
process. I love the additional space of
the newly designed |
|
|
Champion 196. It is the most
stable fishing platform I have |
|
|
ever fished in. I went from the 150 Merc
EFI on my '98 |
|
|
Champion (further down this page), to
this Yamaha. So far |
|
|
I am really impressed. I am amazed
at how quiet the |
|
|
Yamaha is compared to the Merc. The
power of this motor |
|
|
also seems to be impressive. I
also added a hotfoot to this |
|
|
boat." |
