Difficult to say at this point. Need more seat and setup time. Overall i think its more efficient.
Next test run after we address engine cooling issues. I will have gopro cameras in place monitoring as many angles as possible.
The trim should be moved to its upper extreme and lower extreme with a steady throttle. This will help to assure i have my boxes/trim rams height close.
some random thoughts on further setup ideas.
propellers.
trim height.
prop rotation
better video on gauges vs mph
Im sure we can come up with more?
The placement of the sixes on the 46 is a known value.
Placement of fixed shafts with rudder is not.

Next time your out can you get some more video to get a better idea of how the boat is running, if you can shoot this landscape would be better to get more in.
