I tried to search but what would the best cruise speed be for my boat? Thanks guys.

What's your wot range and props? Cruise should be 3500 - 3800 rpms.
MPG? Lol. Lower 3k net you maybe 1-1.5pmg

3 rd time I have written this reply.. keeps getting deleted..

OK.. "mittens" on here is pushing 26b1 with 342 and mags

Our cruise speeds are the same: (I am running 25m+)
3500 @50-52
4000@ 60ish

IMO, conservative, easy on motors.. 3200-3600 and hard cruise (usually poker runs) 4k max


Have fun, hope this helps!

He speeks the truth! I normally runa around 3300-3400 rpms is my nromal runa round speed.

Here's my current exact boat thst the previous owner took a video. Does the 4000rpms @50mph sound right

nailit

Nope.. too slow, you should be at 50 around 34-3500 in flat water.. 4k, you should be around 60.

I was right around 50 at 4k with my 25ol with a 23p prop.

Just watched the video.. nice boat!!

2 things I noticed.. looks like the prop wash was low.. perhaps trimming up to get boat out of water..

2nd.. have you checked speeds with GPS??? I wouldnt trust a non-gps speed!!
