[SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

[tpenfield]

I think @nola mike asked about fuel usages vs speed, etc. Now that I have run the boat for a longer period of time, I was able to put some of the mpg data on the performance graph.

I plan on raising the engines 1.5", which should help with the performance, so the numbers may go up . . . (maybe). If they do, I'll be staying with the 19" P props.

is that using readouts or hard math? Wondering with your gauge issues.

The data is from the real-time readouts of the engines.

I have been recording my overall travel distance vs. fuel usage, but the fuel gauge wonkiness has thrown a in all of that.

So like 30-33 mph is the "sweet spot' it seems. That tracks with most V-hulls I've had.
