I'll ask never really thought about getting those numbers from a cruiser but I'll see if he knows.

Ya, I'm not that interested with wot but I think boat isn't dialed in at all for best cruise, etc. Just ddoesn't feel right compared to a 30ft regal I own owned yrs ago

He said hi tachs are not reading right so no good info there.

Dtile 10-14-2013 07:46 AM

Does he have smart phone, lots of free gps speedometers?

Much help appreciated. mike

16's to 21's huh? seem like a far jump. any other suggestions, cant afford the 4 blade revs this year. Still have the 23's ...getting both motors freseneded up with rebuilt heads/intake and exhaust...still cant find the stock top end on this 29pc non mags...Not that need the top end but the cruising speed always felt incorrect at too low a rpm and would lose plane.

Don't know if this helps you but 1987 f-28pc w/twin 340 mags factory specs say 43 mph, sorry no listing on my sheet for t/454s
good luck

thanks. think the 29pc weighted a lot more too...and diff hull.ki did read somewhere it hit 50 with the mags...I have gen out, no heater, no air...as well.

well tore motor apart, new springs, valve job, carbs, intake, exhaust, head gaskets, switched distributors, computers, coills, still get a bad response like a tiny stall at WOT on one motor we cant figure out. Just on TOP end..only tops out at 39. seems one motor not giving any torque at 4600-4800. can get to 5000rpm (ran on external tachs). motors sounds fine at 45k...timing perfect, gas fine, ran external...just that little bit...strange. maybe starboard hub glue bad on one prop at high speed? they press on hubs...sorry, in hospital fightin most of summer cancer and finally out...gonna get to this issue if it kills me.
