We just finished 10 days on Lake Michigan on our 2007 38 DA with 8.1 Horizons. This is its second season in the water; finished the week at just over 100 hrs. We cruised with a 2000 380 DA with 7.4 - 370 HP. We were comfortable at about 3800 rpm which was about 26.0 to 26.5 mph. I played with the tabs and this seems to be the best performance. My running mate in the 380 was only doing about 3500 + rpm. We store and dock at the same place and have been in the water the same, no prop scans have been done, but we think we both will get them done soon. Just curious what you think about the reason for the difference in rpm and speed. Any other 38DA owners have data?
