30 Mph On A Single 150 Opti.

[doodlebug]

While heading offshore last Wednsday my high pressure fuel pump decided to die on my standard rotation eng. having about a 10 mile limp back to the ramp we started back in.
after about 2 hours of idling I got bored and decided to see what a single would do on a 23 sceptre. with the dead one trimmed out and tabs all the way down the single 150 finally pushed the beast up on top. It took tabs full down and I had to run above 4000 but it got us home on a 4 blade 19 pitch powertech, funny the 250's would not do it with the same props. Top speed 30 mph @4800
