that boat should turn a 24 or 25 around 5600-5700 and run in the mid 60's. You may be too low on the plate.


Everytime I go fishing it reminds me why i love it so much!!!

I am running a 92 389T with a 91 evinrude 150. I am running a 24 pitch renegade (was 25, croxton pitched it down and added more cup) on a 5.5" jackplate, about 3.5 under pad. I am turning it 5400 and will run about 58 or 59 in warm weather. I still think i can squeeze 61 out of it with more set up time as i am still going up with the prop. Just waiting on better weather.

I am not an expert but i would think you could get 64-65 out of your boat.

I have also read that our javelins like tempest props, I recently purchased a 25 pitch tempest to try also.

Hope this helps.

I'd be running a 25 Tempest at 2.75" under.

I have a 389 w/175 Intruder and this is what was suggested to me by Todd.... Boat has been in the shop and haven't had time to set it up to this.. It was also mentioned about possibly using "trim wedges" and "trim extenders"
