Re: Finally Fishing!
Where do you put 6 people on a Seafari?
I feel crowded with 2 and don't think I could fish w/ more than three.
What accounts for the ability of a heavily loaded 90hp to swing a 4-blade 21 pitch prop to 5150rpms while I can only swing a 21 p 3-blade MWC Vortex 4400 rpms and get only 5000rpms in a 17p Black Max. Could my tach be way off or is it the torque curve or gearing of the respective motors, mine being a 115 "tower of power"? I got 35 mph (30 knots gps)out of the 17p black max with old gas. A 2knot improvement over the old 21p Vortex
Also, you had steered me to the black max geometry - I'll eventually pickup an ss MQF from PowerTech unless you're thinking the 3 or 4 blade SCDs are better way to go...have you run a Yamaha style semi-cleaver like the SCDs on your Seafari? Are they theoretically a faster or easier to turn wheel than the black max shape? Better stern-lift?
