RPM/Speed efficiences
Due to the issues weve had with the boat in the past, i havnt had much time to play around with speeds too much to figure out what is most efficient. This past weekend we cruised at about 8 knots at 2000 rpm.
I also cruised a bit at 2300 rpms- about 10 knots.
Can anyone offer any experience or knowledge with this? We are cruising from the boston area down to cape cod and will probably cover a couple hundred miles during the trip.
Thanks!

Re: RPM/Speed efficiences
I usually got best cruising around 3000-3200RPMs, but all boats are a little different.
