I can cruise her at 1800 rpms with 65 % load and do 22.5 knots and burn only 14.5 gallons an hour or drop it to 1650 rpms and do 19 knots and burn 13.5 gal/hr. I am happy with the performance and was told with the diff. prop i will see alittle more speed and less gallons per hour burnt. I am still thinking about a helm chair down below. There is plenty of visiblity, and her bow stays pretty flat. We will see.

Great numbers! When i saw the weight on her i thought to myself, she's going to be efficient. That boat is 100% pure business.

Hey Big Jay, Thanks. I was hoping it was going to be efficient. We just filled her up the other day. We had an offshore trip on her, from OI to the 240 line troll all day and back. Two half day trips some sea trials with cummins, and a few 10 mile trips to the lift and back and only burned 196 gallons. The tank is 354 gallons. we are figuring one fill up a week on 10 hour days inshore. And still have 60 gallons or so.

You know, I lurk and read just about everything on this forum but I always come back to this thread. It should be a "sticky."

Are the curved parts of the frames cut to the same radius or are they all different? What size radius are they?

Thanks
