I was able to borrow a copy of a Yammy Saltwater Series 23P and took her out for a test run last weekend.....52.5 mph (GPS) at 4600 rpm WOT. Given it was blowing 18 knots and I had a rear quartering wind. I think eggsucking dog has it right with a good 19 P.
Luckily I have two designs to try this week.
After the first run with the 200, all I can say is WOW! She just wants to fly. And the OX66 seems to be a perfect match for her, only squatting another inch compared to the 4 stroke 115 I had on her. Scuppers are still above waterline. Now I only need to wait for the calm summer waters to really unleash those horses.
