Check my previous post, I have a differnt prop then you and run 27-28 at 3200 with 315 HP.
Is that by yourself and light on fuel? I have a tall hard-top and I'm wondering how much that makes a difference. I moved from a 15x17 to a 16x17 based on the original specs and everyone suggesions, but my cruise & fuel burn is exactly the same, but with more vibration. If I could get this boat to cruise at 22-24 knots at a reasonable RPM with 3 people and gear I would be a very...very happy camper. With 3 People, a good load of fuel & fishing equipment I am cruising anywhere between 16 & 19 knots at 3100-3300RPM's.
