I'd like to revisit this post and see if anyone has any new information or updates. I am close to pulling the trigger with Hydro Tech on a flash and possibly raising the rev limiter to 6400 as the research I have done and people I have spoken with feel this is the optimum flash/tune that will provide plenty of performance whether or not you adjust prop/pitch.
I have a skeeter fx21 with Yamaha sho and a 25p T2. I was told that keeping my same prop and pitch, along with the flash and raising the rev to 6400 should alone get me close to the range of 3-5mph gains depending on certain things. I asked if the 25p would make it over rev 6400 and was told no by more than one person. I am only looking to gain 3-5mph anyway, so if I can do that and keep my current prop without having to spend money on another I prefer that.
Does anyone else have a skeeter with a Yamaha and had theirs flashed?
Note: yes I am aware of the warranty aspect of this decision, that is part of why I am still somewhat debating. However I may look into purchasing a new ECU and using it only for the flash. A little more money upfront but if something were to ever happen, even unrelated to the flash, then I could switch it back to the original and not have a warranty issue.

so it looks like you want to raise your boats horsepower an then if it has a problem you would like to have the manufacturer to pick the tab up.

Again, what's so big about breaking 80?
Never won a tournament going 80. Just saying.
Besides, I'm pretty sure that will null your warranty on the motor. Has nothing to do with catching fish at 80. Actually it has noting to do with fishing at all. It's purely for the adrenaline and fun, kind of like owning a hotrod for the street.

But if there is the capability to get just a little more performance out of it and not hurt anything, why not? It is done on vehicles every day.

I'm not any good at cheating polygraphs so I'll have to keep my motor stock. I can see where it would still be within Tournament rules. If the added (Dyno) HP is still within the Coast Guard Limit. For example, a boat with a 300 limit and a 250 ECU upgrade to 300 is within the rule.

The difference is that in cars there is not a rule that limits the horsepower. If you fish tournaments and they have a rule stating that you cannot exceed the USCG rating on your boat and you have your ECU modified to make it a 300 HP engine then you are breaking the rules. I do know several people that have had their boards modified and it does make them a 300HP engine. I just swap cowlings, no one knows the better.... ECU,Rev-limit, flash smash... Takes about 2 mins...... ....... If there is one thing I've learned, the want too, or in this case, the factory setting are better left lone... WHY you ask?? Booooooooooooom that's why...
