Re: It's Ready!
Sokinwet,
That was our boat, but I wasn't on it. Realizing the Weymouth ramp would be blocked for the fireworks, my father and Jack decided to put her in that night. I went down the Cape for the weekend so I haven't been on it yet, but the wife and I are headed over there right now.
Jon,
Congrats on getting her in for the 4th. I noticed all the SC's in Stage Harbor with those Suzukis. I'm sure you'll be real happy with it.
From what my father tells me, he's getting 40 mph WOT at 5700 rpm turning a 15 x 15 SS 3-blade (3/4 fuel ~110 gals, 4 people on board, light gear). At 4000 rpm he's running 25 mph, around 30 at 4500. Compared to the old 'Rude - WOT 34 mph at 5600, 20 mph at 4000, 24 mph at 4500. Definitely a big improvement but not as much as we thought. The jack plate has been tweaked as much as possible, so short of playing with props, I think she's pretty much dialed in. Now to figure out the fuel consumption improvements...
