In Response To: Range??? (rob Cromie)

This is the way it seems to me:
Your boat- 370 gals gas@6.5 gal=2400#; 3 guys @210@210=630; gear 1800. Total 4830#.

My boat this past Mother's Day - 19 people @ 190= 3610; 120 gals @6.5=780. Total 4390#. Set the trim tabs down.
Brought the boat slowly up to 2700rpm. Boat came up on a plane with no trouble at all. The rpm went up and I brouht it down to 2800,reading 19knts on the GPS. Adjust the trim tabs. However, the "Irish Wake" turns four bladed wheels(18x18) with 325hp BigBlocks.

Did I mention the special high profomance K&N air filtation system????

But you say the weight is different. How about the diner place setting for twelve with bone china and sliver ware that goes on all trips south? Gimme a break!

My top end is classified. The boat is pledged to the United States Coast Guard by way of HomeLand Security.
