View the latest post 450 Voyager planing speed


I see a number of prior discussions on planing speed, but I'm hoping to get some data from someone with this model so I can use the info as a reference when troubleshooting performance. Mine has TAMD 74P engines, but not sure if that is relevant to the knots the boat is going when it gets up on plane, although knowing the RPM which I'm assuming would be engine specific would also be interesting.
I'm still trying to determine the cause of smoking which on my last outing occurred on speeds up to 2000 RPM which was about 14 knots. (I recorded 11.8kts at 1850RPM and 15.5knts at 2200RPM). 4 people aboard, 750lb dinghy, 200 gallons of fuel, bottom not heavily fouled but probably some soft growth.
