You often see the 'cruise speed' mentioned in boat descriptions and brochures.
But what is this speed and how is it determined?


My recollection is that BOATING magazine's "cruise speed" for planing
boats is the throttle setting that produces the best fuel economy while
the boat is on plane. Typically, it is somewhere around 70-75% of the
engine's top RPM on a boat with a gas engine.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
