Steve Buzbee Senior Member Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 457 Highland Park, NJ	On my last delivery, I tested RPM and speed-2800 RPM added about a half knot to boat speed over 2300 RPM. Fuel consuption at 2800 was right around .5 gallons per hour. A 1/2 knot of speed cuts about an hour off of a 60 mile trip. Steve Buzbee Blue Meanie J/30 #485
