Sea Ray Performance Database. share your numbers for future references

[pierpressure]

I think if we all share our performance information it will be a very powerful tool for future references, new users and troubleshooting problems in all Sea Ray's , the numbers provided by the manufacturer not always echo the real world.

Boat: Amberjack 290, 2002
Power: Mercruiser 6.2 L MPI
Propulsion: Bravo 3, 2.2 ratio
Propeller: Signature 4x4 blade 24p
WOT: 4400rpm 39.5MPH
Cruise Speed: 3400rpm 32MPH
Fuel Consumption: N/A (yet)
(average: 4 people on board, gear, about 120 gallons of fuel)

Only modification on this boat it's the upgrade to the signature 4x4 propellers, my top end speed it's lower, but my mid range fantastic. I can keep the boat on plane @2600rpm. (about 22mph) before I couldn't.

Thanks.

I thought the fishing boat crowd preferred higher WOT?

Hopefully after this season will change the props to a 20p and see if I improve my WOT. (it should be around 4800 to 5200)
