    best fuel economy

    There is a lot to learn here especially when pulling in the the fuel dock. No One wants to take out a second mortgage to fill the boat. I have begun to look at fuel meters but as always this is complicated too. Does anyone want to suggest a flow meter? I am trying to decide like we all do...

    best fuel economy

    This is a very interesting chart. Note how the mileage increased form the 2500-3500 rpm range. This must be the hull planing speed. Does this chart reflect your experience? By the way I enjoyed your photo album Chris

    Looks sweet. Note: the double axle trailer might be for a heavier boat. Hence lower fuel economy. Chris

    best fuel economy

    well.... from what I see the factory table must be going with the wind. the tide, staying on the down hill slope of the wave, empty boat, driven by a midget, just before it ran out of gas (to lighten the load) and going with the rotation of the earth made by a guy selling boats who was later...

    circumnavigate Vancouver island - 850 miles

    I gave a good review to Douglas's book but now I'm not so sure. I notice that he/they left out important information about currents in key spots. So, now I deem the book good for charts and harbors but needs to be suplimented. Lots of good info on currents but I noticed a distinct lack...

    Thank you all for weighing in. I fish, hence I have the angle 22. The steering is not hydraulic My electronics are dismal and are to be replaced by this spring. I will probably get the garmin 740s with radar. It seems very easy to use. I have an old gamin gps and an out dated...

    PNW fishers - 2nd steeering station ques.

    I use the roger-bum method myself. I steer off the main 90hp. I just push the motor with my hands. I've thought about attaching a dowel on the motor hood and just tuning it into a big "tiller" but that's just to tacky even for me. So, I'll just continue to steer with my hands and do the...
