Re: 43 mph on the river today
 

I got 41.1 mph on the GPS this past weekend with a following wind on a light chop. Didn't bother trying to trim her out, that was plenty fast. I almost never run wide open, she cruises 28 at 3500 rpm all day long. The funny thing is she runs just about perfect without having to trim the outdrive. Probably because she is stern heavy with the 305 chebbie ;D

Zebra, that's about what mine does with a 5.0L mercruiser, almost exactly (well, not the top end, only 41.1).

I've got a 200 hp 305 I/O and don't think I could touch that kind of speed. Better check my top rpm and prop relationship!!
