[C320-list] Used Boat Review

[Chef Adam Weiner]

Andrew, it is amazing how well your boat beats maximum hull speed.

I one time sailed my boat for over an hour at 13.1 knots at 0 RPM's.
(Six knots of current.)  Don't ask me what happened when I tried to turn
around.

Heck, there have been quite a few times motoring the Brisbane/Oyster Cover
channel that at 3000 RPM's I was going backwards.

Adam

Very nice review - accept, "6 knots at 3,000 rpm".  YIKES!

I get 7.2 knots at 2,500 rpm (approximately).  Yes this is SOG.  if  
there are big waves, currents, etc that speed can change of course.  
But under power the boat does move and does not suck much fuel down.

Best Regards,
Andrew
