Vee Jay runs about a half hour to get from Naples City Dock to the Gulf ... interestingly we run most of time around 2400 which seems to be the smoothest ... and that gives us a bit over 5kts. there are definite rpm that don't sound "right" so we sort of tune around them.

Needless to say backing with the Martec against a strong wind or current can be interesting and full 3200 sometimes is not impressive.
