Had it out for 2 hours today. I couldn't set any speed records as it was to rough and windy. I did get some cruise numbers though

On plane in about 2 - 2.5 seconds. This isn't accurate I found it hard to time as with the motor trimmed down to start, and trimming up with throttle the boat stays very flat in the water, hardly any bow rise.

On plane at 3k rpm, 15 mph

3200 rpm - 22.8mph trimmed out
3500 rpm - 24 mph
4000 rpm - 29 mph
4500 rpm - 34 mph
5000 rpm - 39.7 mph
5200 rpm - 41.9 mph

It starts to chine walk going 40 into a headwind And a little chop gets it going

That's as fast as i could take it with conditions. I'm impressed on how it handled it though.

The boat has no tabs by the way. I don't think I'll need them though as I can control it with trim

No fuel numbers as i haven't networked the motor to my a67 through the nmea2000 port yet.
