Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
The lower the better, less wear on the gears during shifts. I idle at 450rpms. That would be too low an RPM for someone that likes to troll, but I mainly ski and cruise, so it doesn't worry me.
Well, I rented a 2003 17' Sea Ray with the 3.0, and with 4 people onboard we could only manage about 32mph. The sucker wouldn't plane until two of us sat in the bow...<br /><br />But hey, it got great gas mileage!
