Yeah it was 80 today but windy... 15 mph steady... Had 2-3' waves with whitecaps most of the day tho I was somewhat sheltered behind the island where I took the pic.
The 10 day forecast shows highs in the upper 60s and low 70s so the is likely the last 80*day this year....
That said, MT it's just a quick run over the hill and across the creek, come on down n we'll go out for a long sleeve's BBQ next week
Checked the timing before heading out today... Had 5* initial and spec is 8*... Fiddled with it and ended up about 8 1/2-9* n called it good..
Idle picked up to 1050 so backed back down to 650 n she ran great!
Was turning 4600 rpm and running 36 mph gps with 2 people a dog 95 gal gas and 60 gal water on board in said 2-3' waves... Not bad at all....
Sure the wellcraft would have done mid 40's in the same conditions but would have been burning twice the fuel and I can stand up in the cabin of this one!
I'm running a 16x16 elephant ear 3 blade prop but next trip out I'm gonna try my 15x16 4 blade prop again... Rpm's were a little low last time I tried it but that was before fixing the fuel issues and setting the timing.
