its a heavy boat with all the downriggers, radar arch/rod holders, 6" full canvas top, stereo, 9.9 kicker, dual batterys, prawn puller with traps etc etc etc

my max speed is around 42 knots, but cruises ar 30knots at 3200 rpm getting 2.5mpg according to the smartcraft gauges. jumps up on a plane in 2-3 seconds. i could have saved some weight and probably gained top end with an alpha leg but found a complete bravo package instead
you need a higher pitch prop, bring it down to around 4800-4900 at WOT
