Default Re: Fuel Numbers for my "Speed Demon" (not)

OK- here is my brain, ............- put the revamped 4 blade 16/15 no cup back on today. Still have a hum but now at 700 rpms only- gone at all other speeds. Its going to have to be tolerable now. Speed numbers-
3000 rpm's, 19.5/20knots 10.4 to 10.6 gph. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
3200 rpms, 21/22 knots 11 to 11.1 gph [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

3500 rpms 24 knots 17 gph [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
3800-4000 rpms 24.1 knots 18.5 gph [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

All on a crossing over tide with only a slight breeze

whadda y'all think ?

Pretty happy except for that damn humm. Think I might have hit something on the way in.Everything seems to be alright. Was tog fishing yesterday in my friends old 23 formula and we hit a 2 x 4 on the way in. Lots of crap from Isabel still floating around.2 x 4's, 4 x 4's, piers, telephone poles, you name it.sux. 3000/3200 is my normal cruising rpms , glad to see the numbers look good, better than what I expected
