to know the final WOT numbers. Goal was to be able to run 100 but with full load. So fuel tanks are always full, Built in cooler under the
rear bench seat is always full. Plus gear in the cabin (luggage). At one point Doc Bob & I calculated Weight of fuel carried & the gear
and it was 350o LBS's range. I gave him crap that he is basically running around with the weight of a car on board.
Feed Back from Doc Bob today:
(Definitely more to go with the five blade propeller's.
It had almost 400 gallons of fuel on board and freshwater for toilet and transom shower.
Were both full also. And several hundred more RPM to reach wide-open throttle RPM.
And runs really freaking good in rough water at any speed!!)
