Sunchaser Pontoon- quality?

[Bishop]

I recently purchased a 2023 model Sunchaser Geneva sport 23’ with a Yamaha f200xb. I’m curious if anyone has any experience with these and could provide any feedback. I purchased for a good price due to hail damage.

Thanks

I have no knowledge or experience with them, but now you can tell us about them!

Haha! Yes this is true. So far I’ve swapped the old prop (cheap aluminum) with a new prop (13.75x19 reliance) and gained significant top end mph (41mph) but now my wot is topping out at 5000RPM. I purchased a different prop (reliance 14x15) and have high hopes but might have to wait a few weeks to put on. The boat is very smooth on the water but I’m coming from a suntracker 22 pontoon with only two tubes. I had no idea how different the ride would be on a Tritoon. The Yamaha is very quiet and responsive. I really like the power bimini top that come one the boat as we like to go out at night and will make putting to top up and down will be a breeze.

That is a really odd pick they made for the prop. That's like a bass boat setup. The Yamaha PowerMatched setup for the F200 on a tritoon is always the 14-1/2 x 14 Reliance SDS or 14-1/2 x 15 Reliance SDS. You can check the performance bulletins at the link below by filtering down by outboard and boat type, then sort by HP. I have an F200 on a Suncatcher V322SS and it came with the 15 pitch SDS. The 14 will give you a couple hundred RPM over the 15 and is probably what you want to get full RPM as the rule of thumb is typically about 200 RPM for each inch drop in pitch.
