We bought our 25 cruiser in May and boat here in Missouri on the Mississippi where we keep it on a hydro hoist at umr225 area. So I put almost 200 hundred hours on the twin Honda 90's pulled it and changed the oil (every 100)on engines and lower units pulled it to St.Paul ,Mn. to do a slow cruise doing 'the Saints Run ' We like slow 'trawler ' speed and can anyone advise me on prop size to let me cruise at under 2000 rpm and move along at 8 mph? The boat did great averaging 4 mpg, and her , (and mine)only real complaint is her seat and how unpleasant the seat is to turn around.The props are Honda 13.5x15 and would a larger diameter or pitch shove it easier at slower rpm? We cruised 13 days spent every night at a marina and put 94 hours so when we got back had my Marina pull boat and set it on a stand to change oil and lower units on both again,950hrs now.We still have not got a fridge for it and used a small unit that we kept on the rear deck and powered with a 750 watt inverter. We have a leaking water problem in the bow taking water in rough waves thru the anchor drain line . Put duck tape on it and that stopped it but I need to find out why it takes on water there and I have to take the plug out in the floor deck that you step on when you go into cuddly to suck the water out. Thanks fellow 'brats' !
