Quick performance update as it is our last day at Lake of the Ozarks and I’ll post pics when we are home.
With 6 adults, 2 teens, 3 kids, 50-60% fuel, plus gear and cooler I got max speed of 44mph with bimini deployed with a slight south breeze behind us, water conditions weren’t glass but wanted to try it. When I ran to get fuel last night I ran wide open and got 48mph with just me on board and around 40% fuel, water conditions weren’t the greatest but still worth a shot. After I got fuel the starboard engine didn’t want to start as easy, which was probably due to running wide open and then slowing down quick and docking for fuel.
The boat is doing well, even handling pretty good sized wakes from some cabin cruisers. My average speed has been around 35-40mph most of the trip. My average MPG is 1.8, want to say running 30-35mph is the best for 1.9-2mpg pending how many you have aboard plus gear.
