from my "finding the right prop" thread...
Quote:
lowered my motor 2 notches, it is now about 4" above bottom of keel. Very solid bite
Fuel flow shows 9-9.5 gph at 30 mph and 4200 rpm (into stiff wind), a little better with the wind (light load, 2 adaults, 2 tiny kids and 55 gal fuel, no ice, empty boat well)
27 mph at 8.5gph, 3900, into same wind.
I did not try any slower, but I dont think it get much better, we will see.
Im happy

The fuel flow meter needs to be calibrated, last weekend it was telling me 6.5 gph at 26 mph and 3900 rpm, which might be close as I was going with wind and a very light load.
