Performance…. To be or Knot to be

[kmoose]

Lots of performance numbers spoken of but I figured I would post some up to share what I am seeing on a typical offshore run for me.

Melissa and I with 2 tanks and dive gear, some trolling gear and 85 gallons of rec 90. Seas were 2’ or less. I was just trying to keep costs down with speed but wanted to see if I could see the elusive 3 nautical per gallon. Unfortunately that was only achieved a couple of knots above displacement speed. Below are some of the most efficient numbers I could achieve with multiple adjustments in trim and tab.

For those who like to see higher statute (mph) figures you can compare mine by multiplying them by 1.15

Do you get a lot of spray running like that?

None. My bracket is a little higher than recommended.

I was referencing the sideways pics.

All the things the latest IPhone can do but still can’t orient a photo based on how it was taken….. I need a dumb phone

When I turn my I pad sideways to look at the picture, the picture turns as well. Go figure.
