[C320-list] GFO and Autoprop first report

[Dave Anderer]

I've got very little time on the boat, and none on other 320s, but:

- The tach was checked during the survey last fall; reported to be spot-on.
- The knotmeter paddlewheel had to be replaced.  I did so, and took the 
time to calibrate it accurately by doing multiple runs (with and against 
the current) against both know landmarks and the GPS.
- The bottom is clean through rough.

I see 6 knots at 2700-2800 RPM.  I frankly don't understand some of 
these high speeds folks are quoting.

Of course, it was the same thing with the previous boat.  I went through 
the same process, and other folks always seem to report higher speeds.  
Reporting bias?  Or maybe I just buy slow boats.
