Barefoot 200 Owners

I have a 1999 master craft pro star 205 with the lt1 EFI motor. The wake is too big for slalom and bare footing. There are no trim tabs on this boat. What do you recommend I install to smooth out the wake? Is there a recommended center plate or trim tabs I can install? Or, who do I contact who would know what should be installed? ? Any input would be appreciated.

Hello GoresBF200 and Newman! I also have a 95 BF200 w Yamaha Vmax 225 HPDI. I'm getting bad side spray on the boom and a noticeable "V" spray coming off the engine. I've been told that it's do to the weight of the engine versus the stock ProV200 engine. Did you guys ever resolve this issue? did you try to raise or lower the engine on the transom ? I was recently told to try to add lead weights to the bow to bring it down. I'm not sure if that will just sink the boat deeper into the water causing more spray?
Do you know how much more these 225s weigh vs the old pro V 200?

thanks in advance!

What is the best prop to use for barefooting with a 93 barefoot 200 with the 200 hp pro v yamaha
sea level is at 600 feet

Does anyone know for sure what the transom of a 92 BF200 is? Looks like wood to me..but I thought after 83 they didn't use any structural wood?

I have a new dimension tower for a BF 200 that I would like to sell. Message me if interested.

Thanks

Hey Weeman

I have a 95 as well. I put a 2007 Vmax 225hp on it. I am struggling with the chine spray. The motor is much heavier than my old 95 pro V. That has something to do with mine. I can only go up one more bolt hole but I feel that would be stressing out the transom too much. I could be wrong but I wont want to take a chance. For boom sets I bought a $100 boom extension.

morning all

hello all, new to the forum and club and saw a post within (some time back) wondering about a cover for their bf200. I had one custom made (in 2012, 1995 BF 200 96 proV 200 Yami) through a canvas company referred to me by MasterCraft Boats of Chicago the cover is awesome, great straps all the way around, great snub cord around cover to back which has a ratchet hook which really can tighten it down, almost no need for straps (though for trailering in bad weather) has sewn in pocket for cover rain pole, reinforcements over windshield, I used a fabric they describe as Outdura, top of the line, sunbrella like, maybe better cost $1,200 not cheap for the baby but worth it. Mine is also purple, matches the boat nicely I called them and they dont have a pattern, they make all the covers custom they are in the chicago area, chain o lakes. United Canvas, 25434 W Rt 173, Antioch, IL 60002 PH 847 395 1470 hope this helps as a lead or at least an idea of top of the line custom cost i still have my old one, (use it to cover new cover in heater storage), which they repaired (not part of 1200 price), so keep that mine, canvas company could certainly improve, fix existing covers
Safe boating

why fellow footers i thought this may come in handy for us outboard owners,
