power vs weight and speed question
#1
anyone running big power in a 42 with a heavy hull? what props and speed do you run? my boat is 12k lbs with fuel. twin 900's. I am working on a prop selection. anyone have a close setup?
I know the standard factory boats tend to weigh 3000 lbs less than the race hull I have.
thanks for any input.
