Re: Salt vs Fresh Speeds
SW is a little faster. Harder water, some swells to get the boat in the air, better air (sea level).

Re: Salt vs Fresh Speeds
But the viscosity of salt water is higher, so salt is sometimes faster but not always - it depends!

Re: Salt vs Fresh Speeds
Technically salt water may be faster, but not after your outdrives rot off!

I to believe the speeds are the same. Although it is true the salt water is more dense and allows your boat to float higher in the water, i have also heard that the salt water produces more drag because of the salt....im not saying this is true rather an opinion that i have heard from more than one person. |
