Greetings, I am interested to see what other 310 owners find to be a comfortable cruise for their 310's? Our has twin 5.7 350 horizons with V-Drives. We just had our props scanned this year and find that with two people full to 3/4 fuel we run 20knts at 3800-3900rpms? Does this sound about right? This is typically in a light chop with a current of some sort. Our Navman fuel monitor tells us that we are burning about 22-24 gallons an hour.
Interestingly enough itt seems that the boat wants to run at between 4000-4100 RPMs and 22-23 knots but I have always worried that this was running the engines to hard.
thanks,
NI
