Re: Sea Trials #2
Hole shot is OK. It would be better with a 15P, but the 17P gets up on plane pretty quickly, this motor is more like a 120 HP due to slightly larger pistons. A doel fin or stingray would probably help a bit, but I don't want to take any top end away right now. I will raise the motor this weekend and test it.
Maybe go to stainless Prop to reduce wear due to my encounters with shallow bars and shell. All in all Im pretty happy. Its pretty light in the rear and it handles and rides real nice. Reduced Gas consumption is a nice benfit. My Brothers 21' SeaRay Laguna CC with a 95' 200 merc offfshore burned 12 more gallons than me on the same 65 mile trip. I burned 22 he burned 35. Yea he can go 44 MPH and I can only get 38-39, but once I raise motor and get my 5500 RPMS we will be a little bit closer. I read in the literature that the VDR hulls on the Classics will be 10 % faster than other V-Hulls
