Re: Newbie Nordic Owner (Maybe)
I did get some nice weather and now have close to 12 hours on the Hour Meter....
I was also able to GPS the Boat
I tested a 24P 4 Blade and a 26P 4 Blade...And I think the 24 is what I am going to go with
With the 26 I got 4600 RPM and was able to get it up to 61.5
with the 24 I hit 64 MPH at just over 4800 RPM I think I might have been able to get maybe a 1/2 or one more mile out of it if I would have kept playing with the tabs and trim.....But there was like 300 Fishing Boats in front of me and they were coming up fast LOL.....
When I did the runs it was around 65 Degrees and very little chop ..........I had 3/4 of fuel on board and myself and another adult.......
My Nordic is a 2005 496 MAg Ho
I thought 64 MPH for a 26 foot Boat is darn good
Oh BTW I have been running the River for years last 5 of those years has been in Crownlines.....Funny thing is I am getting waved at by Boats that never waved at me when I had the Crownline.......LOL....Seams with this new Nordic I am (the Boat is lol) getting a whole bunch of new friends...lol
