3000 rpms puts me below cruising speed and I start to de-plane.

You may be able to fix that to some extent by using trim tabs to bring
the stern up and the bow down.


I have those and it does help. But....I like going 28 mph. Probably stems
from owning a 18 ft. runabout for 20 years.

I have trim tabs on my 21ft cuddy, Yes you can keep it on plane going
very slow. the boat can go so slow that the speed stops registering.
Also makes a big whole in the water right behind the boat. The cuddy has
high side and they help with leveling the boat out in a big cross wind
as well.

Interesting enought 28 mph is where I like to run :-) It's a nice easy
speed and one can enjoy the sights.
