I'm gonna say It takes me about 35 minutes to the inlet. when i get there its 3 to 4 hours of start up and shut down to set up on new drifts and to move around the area. Then another 35 minutes back. the trip is about 10 miles roundtrip plus changing positions around a local area in the bay. Just bought it last year i think it topped at about 5600 or so. not positive. I am going on memory from last season. I cruise this trip at about 4300 rpm.
