1998 30 spectre, twin 2003 merc 300x's, 1.62's, 15x32 3 blade cleavers(or atleast thats what there marked) 6300 rpms 107.4 GPS...Garmin 182c...oh and @ WOT just under 80 gallons an hour...OUCH !!!

Your doing 295.00 per hour @ 3.70 per gallon !!!!!!

is that the price of SUPER on the water..cause thats what these babies suck up

Your doing great. 4.36% slip is hard to beat. That's what those boats will do. There are some untapped rpms there however. Depending on the propeller configuration, you may be able to spin them faster.

i realise everything was perfect...1 ft chop, cool air, cool water, 35-40 gals of fuel etc...do ya recommend i bring up the R's a lil bit or keep um down and let the motors live a lil longer? i believe 7200 is the limiter, and peak power is 6800 ?

Your going to keep me busy this summer dialing in I see
I think the limiter is at 6800rpm, mine shut down at 7000 once when we had it way over trimmed. You need to run Bretts special sauce props that he is doing for me and see what she will do.

Ive got clean fresh labbed
14.5x30x4
15x30x3
15x32x3
15x32x3 BBlades special sauce
The four blades are the only props that have been used to move the boat off the trailer once, the others are fresh from Brett. Bring your boat upto the Hudson and we can run all the props on both boats and get Brett some solid numbers to make you a kick azz set.

that definately sounds like a plan.

according to merc manual peak power @ 6800 and limiters at 7200

Peak recomended rpm is 6800. Rev limiter kicks at about 6950. Prop them at 6900.
