If you saw 4200 rpm's and still had some throttle left, it doesn't sound like it's the props or being overpropped enough to destroy the v-drive....
Those are good numbers. I ran a 28 with Yanmar 185hp engines and it cruised at 20 knots and topped out around 25 knots. I think the Yanmar 220's...
Not at the price of $60k a motor......A diesel of the same HP seems a lot more feasible.
Try Glasstek in Miami. They might be able to make them for you. A good carpenter shouldn't have any trouble making them though.
One outboard doesn't have the torque to get something like that moving and not nearly enough maneuverability to get it from the New River where...
Most motoryachts and Sportfish 45' and above have to run the generator the entire time or be plugged into shorepower, or within 24 hours or so,...
It's about (give/take) $45k for something like a 42' Grand Banks to $100k for an 80' MY........
I'm guessing 75 gph (total) to push the barge at a hull speed of 8-10knots. With a 500 gallon fuel tank, 6 hours of run time, so maybe 60 NM...
It's been too restrictive and shallow the last 2 months for any Captains I know to bother taking it.......

I'm talking about both boats being on plane. If I am passing another yacht at slow speed, and I'm at cruise than I will slow down as well. I try...
It should be easy enough to get a commercial fryer that will use 3 phase electric.
Try keeping an eye on sites like National Liquidators in Ft. Laud. They tend to get a lot of sportfish that are repo's and need work to various...
The blowboaters don't answer the radio 98% of the time. And, I have to go around them at 8 knots because they're doing 6.5-7knots and still am...
They came off of a Center Console Catamaran.......based off of a race boat hull.....like those jaguar, manta, etc. race boat cat hulls that they...
The Exumas as well, BUT Sampson Cay (7 miles North of Staniel). You can rent center consoles from them or "breadboy" a guy named Raymond rents...
