I've looked everywhere I know to look to find boat test numbers on an 03-05 420 DA, or 06-09 44 DA with GAS 8.1s 370hp engines. Nada.
I've found tons of diesel tests and one 380DA test but I'd really like to know what best cruise is on my boat. The 380DA tested weighed 4000lbs less than the 420 does. If I were to guess from what I've read so far best cruise would be around 3500rpms. But that's just a guess.
Does anyone have test numbers on these specific boats?
BTW, here's the 380 numbers I found:
RPM MPH Knots GPH MPG NMPG Range NM dBa
700 3.5 3.0 2.5 1.38 1.20 311 270 67
1000 5.8 5.0 4.2 1.39 1.20 312 271 66
1500 8.1 7.0 6.2 1.31 1.14 295 256 71
2000 9.6 8.3 9.9 0.97 0.84 218 190 74
2500 11.4 9.9 17.4 0.66 0.57 147 128 77
3000 17.6 15.3 28.6 0.62 0.54 138 120 79
3500 24.3 21.1 34.4 0.71 0.62 159 138 83
4000 29.3 25.4 44.0 0.66 0.58 150 130 86
4500 33.1 28.7 57.0 0.58 0.50 131 114 87
4750 34.7 30.2 61.8 0.56 0.49 126 110 87
Thanks!
