The performance tests arent a real test for the cameras, although they are mounted sometimes underwater which they work fine. but this is what they are capable of! Camera was mounted on aft step on Hughes 500 be sure to watch it in HD..

With the trips, and one quits, it still runs 50-55 mph. With the 400s and one quits, it goes 7 mph. I have spent a few hours at the 7 mph pace. I prefer the trips. But it is a beautiful boat rigged by an excellent facility.

They won't be spending much if any time on one engine.

With the top speed at 103mph the slip works out to be 17%. Ran on the limiters real hard according to Speed on the Water which I think are at 7200 rpm. Operating range is from 6400 to 7000 rpm I think. Using all the other info 32 pitch, Ratio 1.75 comes out to 17. At 105 it comes down to 16%. I think it should be able to run more efficient than that but time and end results will tell.
