Re: A little crazy?
I will be interested in seeing how the seakeeper works. Sounds like everyone loves them, everything except the price, quite steep. Good luck with the install.

Re: A little crazy?
Tracy, I will definitely be careful. I have hit 44 w.o.t during prop tests. It does feel a bit strange, but not unstable. I'm hoping to be able to trim a bit more with the duo prop, which I think will help that, but I also only go w.o.t for testing. I have ran it at 35 mph on shorter outing, and I h...

Re: A little crazy?
Tracy, I also am very curious. On a 25 Bayliner flybridge with a single 454, my father switched out a bravo 2 for a 3 about 15 years ago. It gained about 3 to 5 mph at 3200 cruise. Pessimistically I think it will run about 32 to 33 mph at my cruise rpm of 3,000. Optimistically, I will be tickled if ...

Re: A little crazy?
I'm thinking something happened to the amount of views on this thread. It was at 10,000 a couple months ago, now it says 2.4 million. Maybe the google algorithm directs them here from the thread title?

Re: A little crazy?
Don't mind the big hole in top of the dash, it was a temp spot to mount the chartplotter while doing the water test. It has been covered.

Re: A little crazy?
I also just picked up a set of used Bravo 3 duoprop outdrives that I will install this coming season. After I tear them apart to make sure the internals are good. This should also improve my efficiency.

Re: A little crazy?
The last few pics were of my Garmin chartplotters showing the speed of 31mph at 3,000 rpm. Getting a 1.3 mpg with a pair of 454 Chevy's.

Re: A little crazy?
I had moved my helm forward 18 inches, which shrunk the cabin the same amount. I was able to get an additional 130 gallons of fuel onboard. Now I hold 280 gallons total. I still have some fit and finish to do, but over all it was worth it in my mind. We travel to a National Park that is 70 miles doc...
