Tony,

Here is my follow up, as I was able to run the boat through all the RPM curves. Please see below:

1300 – 10 GPH
1400 – 11.7 GPH
1500 – 13.5 GPH
1700 – 16.5 GPH
1900 – 19 GPH
2100 – 22 GPH
2300 /2350 – 29 GPH (i place 2350, as that is the top off with the RPMS)

1/2 tannk of fuel (300 Gallons) and 1/2 Tank of water – (75 Gallons) – 2 People On Board. 41 Luhrs -2005…

I hope this helps..

Was at the boat yesterday.. ran.. here are numbers

3 weeks ago:

RUN: 23.1 knots 1920 18.9 GPH (this is accurate, i took a pic)
WOT: 31 Knots – 2325 RPM 29 GPH (Best I could remember)

Boat Set Up – 2 People – NO water on board (hold 150 Gallons)

We had multiple runs (could not go in ocean, had to run river… which is about 1 mile long before you have to come off plane.. a bit limiting)

Yesterday

First Run: 23.4 knots 1890 RPM 17.5/18 GPH
2nd Run: 23.9 knots 1930 RPM 18.7/GPH
WOT – 30.5 knots 2350 RPM 29.9 GPH

3 People (full water -150 gallons.. however about 75 gallons less fuel)

Hope that helps tony.. i do have your prop curve chart.. seems we are off a little by those numbers. I really would have liked to have run boat in the ocean but i could not, too rough. However will try this weekend and will have your prop chart with me to take ACCURATE numbers THROUGHOUT the RPM RANGE as noted on the prop chart.

i will be on boat today and will be able to run and get exact numbers..

1) 1st run——————-Vessel speed and GPH at 1875 RPM ??? – 24knots.. 17 gph @ 1875
———————————WOT RPM, speed & GPH was ??? – 31 Knots, GPH – did not look
just dropped from winterizing.. no water, full fuel, 2 people

2) 2 to 3 week later or now Vessel speed & GPH at 1875 RPM=?? – 19/20 Knots – 19/20
—————————————WOT RPM, GPH and Vessel peed=?? 27 knots, did not look
note: No smoke.. black or Gray, ran clean
full water, 5 guys..

Since we have noticed the above, we cleaned fuel filter, did not notice ANY bad fuel / contaminants… Air filters appear to be cleaned.. In addition, we BELEIVE we did not hit anything that would damage the props..
