Full Load Performance Numbers and a Few Pics

[Normagain]

I finally got some performance numbers with my boat fully loaded and almost fully rigged. A few details to the console and trim pieces but I've had her out about seven times already. So, I'm running a Solas Amita 3 blade aluminum 13.5" X 15 pitch prop on my 06 Yamaha F115. Speed numbers are MPH/statute miles.

700rpm 2.7mph
1000 4.1mph
1500 5.3mph
2000 6.7mph
2500 7.9mph
3000 9.2mph
3500 14mph
4000 20mph
4500 26mph
5000 30mph
5800 35mph

This is with just me and the bait tank full which is a monster at about 50 gallons. I know, it's a bunch of water but I got a good deal on it used and fish bait a lot. Most of the time it will be running about 35 gallons of water anyway (adjustable level) so running full simulated having a passenger on board, or at least half of one.
