I have searched forum and Internet for various data points in rpm vs speed still not seeing many and with any consistency. I acquired my '98 400 DB with cat 3116s six months ago and am a full time liveaboard. I have gotten out many times now and have yet to see 20kts cruise speed in gps. Recently 1/4 tanks and half water I was able to cruise about 18kts @ 2600. Just filled it to the gills with fuel and water and basically digging big hole and not getting on plane. WOT = 2800-2850. Those with same engine configuration let me know your thoughts. I am still hunting for documentation on correct prop size / pitch to verify, any insight on this is appreciated too. Regards,
