Re: Morgan's 28
Hey guy's ,
Ran a couple hours this afternoon , just hit 10 hours on the meter . She is running real nice , my fuel flow meter shows I have burned 50 gals since I filled her to the top ( 140 ) I figure I have about 80 or 90 gals in her know . The fuel gage on the dash just fell off the full mark . I ran in Lake Wallenpapack PA . today in real flat water , 5600 rpms right at 75 mph is the best I could get , looking forward to burning off some more fuel and getting to the Hudson river this weekend and find some bigger water . I'll get some pic's this weekend !!! Boat is rock solid and handles great !!!
Have fun

Hey Morgan:
Glad to hear you're enjoying your boat. I have a 24B1 I could lend you also, but I don't know if you'd get anymore out of it. I wonder what a stock 26B1 would do?
I'm really loving my Hydromotive P5X labbed. I've gotten a few more rpm's running at 5200 and with 140 gallons pushing around 67.6. If I ever stop going on long trips, I'd get the fuel down to around 50 gallons and should run around 70-71. The 5 blade really runs smooth in the chop and the mid-range is about 53 at 4200. Nice speed to enjoy the ride and get to look around.
FYI, I figure the fuel gauge reads 13 gallons more than you have.
I'm glad I could help out, enjoy.
