In Response To: Re: Rudder ??? (Dan)

I hate that weather bug. Just lost my sent message so here goes again. Dan, My cruise speed is 20 KTS @ 2500 RPM. WOT fully loaded peggs the tachs. It used to be 2900 RPM full 288 gallons, full water 3 people full ice. The WOT speed is only 24 KTS. I'll check the tach accuracy soon with my new digital tach. MY 31 is a 1970 military hull and is very heavy with the extra glass and larger stringers. It was converted into a custom FBC and weighed 18,000 lbs with a lot of canvas. Bridge curtains and cockpit overhead cover slow you down too. I did reduce the weight to 17,000 lbs. with all 3/4" Nidacore engine boxes , walkway, step, salon sole etc. I added another 450 lbs. when I added the 58 gallon aux (SS) tank. Added a microwave and frige too.Shafts are 1 1/2" AM 22.Hope this answers all your questions. Dave K
