Went our today and noticed that when on GPS window the SOG was signficantly different (slower) as compared to the padle wheel speed I have as the speed increased.
Findings:
RPM Wheel SOG
3200 23 20
3500 27.33 22
3800 33 25
4000 37 28
4800 45 n/a
5050 50 41
The boat with everyone aboard and with about 33 gals of fuel weighs an estimated 3500lb
running a 14.5 X20" 3blade raker on 225 Hp evinrude.
Which is more accurate?
