thats doing pretty good.. (if numbers are correct!) Mine does about 35 WOT with 2ppl.. But my stern is heavy due to the NidaBond transom and 32 gal bait tank that sits in the old engine well. I also have a 85gal fuel tank, tower, swim step/bracket merc 175.

when We run in moderate seas, with the tabs down for comfort and cruise at 26mph with 3 ppl on.. at about 4150 rpm while between 9 - 10 gallon per hr..

Is that some sort of enclosure that has been added to your new boat, Fordy?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
