Re: Performance numbers
Those numbers look a lot like my old seafari 20, 150 merc from the 1970s, just a lot better fuel economy and slightly slower wot.
Mine had the same issue with low speed planing, like many boats. I've had two that did not, a 24 Seabird (24'deepV, 350 chevy, volvo duoprop) and my 25 Seafari with essentially the same power package. Both would plane solidly at about 12 knots. I always ascribed the low speed planing in these boats to the duoprop's low end torque, but maybe it was something else. Any opinion?
