Our local Coop has all 3 grades of non ethanol.
Not sure but hopefully faster out of the hole and more top end. Right now at a 225 I'm running 62@ 5200 rpm. I would down size my prop if I wasn't going to the 300 tune.
I have 2021 yamaha 4 stroke and run 87 nonethanol.
62 mph? Lol , no thanks
To a 300,guys coming in the shop are getting There's flashed to a 326
Matt Moore Jackson tn.,think you can flash a 15 to a 200
Lots,a customer has a 520vx ranger and is running 75mph with a 200 yamaha sho.Its not when broke in yet,will probably run alittle faster.They say the torque out of the hole is amazing.
Probably due more to hull design than HP. The hull is what determines top speed performance.
You serious? Rangers are heavy boats built for stability. Not speed. But, you put enough horsepower on any boat and it will go fast. HP to weight ratio is critical.
No.
Good. I thought you were being serious.
I was.
You are mistaken.
Had a guy here at the river that had a 27 foot Rinker cuddy cabin with a merc 454 inboard. Top speed 47 mph.
Like an idiot, he dropped 10k on a custom built, 700hp naturally aspirated big block.
Top speed after doubling HP...52mph.
I have a 27 foot Tritoon with a Merc 350 Verado. Top speed 62mph with two people and 66 gallons of gas. How much faster do you think a Tritoon with twin 350 Verados will run?

Rangers are turds when it comes to speed,everyone know that
We are talking about a 20 ft ranger hull that doesn't have a fast hull doing 70's with a 200hp engine.My 19ft triton is more of a speed hull and I get 56mh with a 150hp motor.Another local guy with a Allison had a mercury 250r and switched to a flashed yamaha 200 and it's faster than the mercury motor.A mercury 250r,the r stands for racing.
And my 17.5 foot aluminum boat with a 150 merc tops out at 45 mph. Your boat is longer and heavier than mine but runs faster. That is a result of hull design or prop size.

I would go with the non-ethanol 87. However if you are going to have it tuned to make more power, it's going to need more fuel. They are going to increase the timing (advance it), so going with the 93 octane will help with detonation.
That is a reasonable expectation.
