prop survey

[phester]

Really...glad to hear you dodged the big "O"....thought you were more toward the coast

[Blue_Runner]

Wish I was closer :'( I can be there in 3 hours - but that leaves me peeing in a cup ;D and eatin a pack of nabs ;D

[reelapeelin]

At the SAME time?... :o...

[Blue_Runner]

Well, no, I'm not THAT coordinated. I'd end up eating the cup and peeing on the nabs :o ;D

[reelapeelin]

Yeah...drippy nabs would be a bummer... :P...

14 1/2x19 on a 200hp oceanrunner at about 56-5800rpm. *I cant' remember exactly on the rpm but thats ballpark. *GPS has top speed at 49.7 kts. *She clips along pretty good. *As does my fuel tank.
Also, that was with the top down, < qtr. tank fuel, running w/tide, breeze, etc...
Hope that helps
O yeah, Alum prop.

Offshore...49mph...Man you bookin'!! ;D 8)...appears you definately got the RIGHT prop!

Are the others w/200s gettin' that kinda top-end?...

Thanks, I thinked she's wheeled right. *She really gets up and out of the hole. I'm still working on the mpg, think its about 1.3. *

14 1/2 x 21 alum. *165 hp 4.3 litre v6 I/O .it does 37 mph @ wot 5000 rpm which I never do. I cruise at 4000-4200 rpm 30 mph. It is tough tho to get under 3 mph for troll. Need buckets. Haven't figured the mpg's but it's not too thirsty.

50 to 1 ratio is 8 ounces per 6 gallons, are you using 20 ounces per 5 gallons? that is less than 25 to 1, that seems really rich. Or am I miscalculating, I always remeber using a pint can of oil for a 6 gallons tank of gas as per manufacturers reccomendations for 50-1. Please correct me if I am wrong??????????
